I like my 77/44 with plastic stock and low power scope. Easy to carry ( I picked it up a while back when I had tennis elbow) and handy in a blind. Shooting Federal American Eagle 240 gr factory loads took a doe last year DRT at 60 yards and a buck this year at 100 yards. The buck ran about 80 yards with a good lung shot that did not exit the far side. I think 100 yards is about as far as I like to shoot a .44 magnum.
IIRC mine shoots the inexpensive 240 gr into 3" at 100 yards. I expect it would do better with some H110 handloads. Some see accuracy improvements with shims in the two piece bolt. I might try that some day but it shoots plenty good the way it is for southern Michigan deer hunting.
