I used to use my Mom's 94 Trapper 44 mag a big. Had no trouble dropping deer or hogs at 100 yards using irons. Now a days, I need a scope.
She has gotten old enough she was never going to use it again and gave to my brother. I snatched a nice Win Border Patrol commerative in 30-30. Would like to have had the 44 mag for short range handiness, but the 30-30 will do just fine.
Long story short, that Trapper 44mag will do the job at 50 to 100 yards with no problem. If you can hit with it, out to 125 yards.
