I like #1s but think the 44 mag looks a little short. Shoulda made the bbl 1" or 2" longer.
Not a fan of the 1022/ 44 standard stock.
Fingergroove ( sporter ) feels way better IMHO.
Have an old beater 3 screw SBH w brass frame and a pretty clean sporter. Those my only .44 mags now.
Ruger #3 feels and looks like crap. Hated the ones I shot on .22 hornet and .223.
Have one now wearing #1 wood. But its in an oddball cartridge ( rebarreled ). Actually like the looks of the #3 lever but it doesnt work well with #1 wood in anything that bumps. Really need to hybridize a #3 stock of sorts.
