In Iowa we can hunt with straight walled and pistol cartridges the last 3 years. I ended up with 3 Ruger 44 carbines, a 444 Marling and a Marlin 336 44 rem mag. I was working on doing some bedding work on one of the Ruger 44. I had the action out and really studied it last night. What a piece of engineering. I have been using the Hornady 240 grains xtp and have good success. Bang flop. Most shots have been in the 75 to 50 range on bottomland deer.
I am glad that Ruger is not making these anymore. Keeps the value up on mine when I kicked the bucket and my estate cashes in. Better than my stock holdings post COVID
Any other Ruger 44 carbine owners out there?
