Very Nice rifle. I would be proud to own that one and I believe the earlier 44carbines were entirely machined from a single block of steel, the newer ones were investment cast. Shop foreman at a place I used to work at had one of those and he killed a lot of NY bucks with it .

Beautiful. Very well taken care of. How does it shoot? A few years back, you could buy some 44 mag ammo with the 250gr partition bullet. Mine shot it just fine, better than Winchester white Box stuff. Only killing I ever did with a 44 was from a little Marlin 1894 and the Remington 240 sn.

I don't recall how it shot back then. I have a bunch of ammo he loaded for it so we'll see how that shoots.
Typical old time Ruger quality. Different from the current guns. The wood even has a little figure in it.

My father-in-law's favorite gun. Light and lays the deer down. Great for the Mississippi Woods we hunt in.
Well, we don't rent pigs, and it's better to say it right up front because a man who does like to rent pigs is — well, he's hard to stop.

I bought one of those scopes from Kmar in 1967 for 25 dollars and still have it (having been on several different rifles). That's a nice outfit you have.

Very nice!
I got one on a trade. Best trade I’ve done .
I put a 1-4.5 Nikon monarch on it. Also got some 300 grainers to reload, hope it will stabilize them
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Nice. I have a pretty early one that does well with my handloads using either the 270 gr Speer or the 250 gr Partition. Next spring I hope to whack a bear with it here in Idaho.

That's a beautiful rifle for thumping deer at moderate ranges.

Always wanted one of those! Would be a fun little “piggin gun”.
