I had a stainless 77/44, liked it alright.
I did a few things to improve accuracy, that being float the barrel, put a trigger kit in it, and shimmed the bolt. Scoped it with a Leupold VX-2 1-4X20.
With those mods, I could rely on a steady 2 MOA with the ammo I loaded for it, which was only one load, a 300 grain WFN LBT and L'il gun, got just under 1600 fps. Obviously this would fully penetrate a whitetail from any angle but I also wanted the load to do the same with the bear we have around here. Perhaps it was still more than needed but I like a .44 mag with 300 grain hardcast bullets, don't know exactly why, but they work.
I shot a few deer with it and about all I can say is that it killed them with boring reliability.
