Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger 44 carbine

Reading a link that was in another link posted here I saw a list of the 5 worst rifles and the Ruger Deerstalker was right behind the Savage 340 pop metal supreme. 😀

I hunted west side Blacktail one year with a Deerstalker and it was a pleasure to carry. I wanted a buck and didn’t settle for a doe so I didn’t get a shot but based on my previous experience with it at the range I was comfortable with shots under 75 yards. In the environment I was hunting I wasn’t concerned with shots over 75 yards anyway.

Lead bullets are not recommended since the lead can “shave off” and plug the gas ports.
