I have a 16" Carbine stainless 44 Mag. Bought it probably 12 years ago. I removed that stupid bolt safety and replaced it with a peep sight, replaced the plastic mag follower with a metal one and replaced the cheesy blade front with a fiber optic one. Shoots great for deer killing accuracy. I have not tried any other loads then the factory Hornady 300 gr XTP. Killed a real nice 8 pt with it several years ago at about 75 yards.


A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.
