Keep an eye on the Epps website.
Saw 2 Ruger semi-auto 44 Mags go by my computer monitor on that site this year along with a lot of other interesting stuff.
Hoyt's right. If you have the bolt and the lever, you have to get the semi (or two) And maybe a Winchester pack carbine and a Redhawk, just in case

Gezzzzzzus!
It's a nice one, for sure.
I lucked out on it. Got it from Epps a few years back, they had "mispriced" it. The other one is an RS model with the factory receiver sight. Minty.

Im thinking of taking the scope off my 77/44 and replacing it with a ghost ring. I dont like Ruger factory irons. I think the rifle carries better without the scope.
Likewise I don't love mine yet, but I expect to love it when I get one. It'll probably be a Handi-Rifle because I already like them and they aren't expensive but it might be a Marlin 1894 because I've never had a lever action.
I agree the rifle carries better without the scope. I've had great success with a Skinner barrel-mount ghost ring on mine. It was easy to install, works with the factory front sight and is more accurate and easier to acquire than the factory rear sight.

Ive actually been thinking about one of these. Did you order directly from skinner? Do you recall the approximate delivery time?
I ordered directly from Skinner. It was in 2010 so I don't recall the exact delivery time but I don't think it was a long time.
Chiappa Trapper Skinner in .44 mag. Has saddle ring. I carry it on a single point sling by the saddle ring behind me which leaves both hands free while mushroom picking, fishing etc. but still at hand in case of a bear issue. Beautiful gun, slick action. Love it.

^Nice indeed! But 14inches of barrel would be perfection IMO.Chiappa Trapper Skinner in .44 mag. Has saddle ring.
