My wife uses a 96 Ruger lever gun in 44 Mag, to great effect. It's her favorite rifle by far. Light as a feather.

My sentiments exactly. A blue & wood version is needed....along with a 1 in 16' twist for tossing the big slugs
in the 340 gr. & above range.

I have a 77/44 . I could carry any gun I want but always back to the ruger. I LOVE that gun. The 44 pills really do seem to drop game well. I've never had to track a deer bang flop every time. Boyd's needs to make a lam stock...then it would be perfection
hoyt...how many of those are 77/44's

Maybe I should get your dad to bring the Ruger to my house. For safe keeping of course
ummmm... Aren't you supposed to be killing pigs??
I have one in Walnut.

Good idea...
I have Marlin 1894's, Win 94's and Ruger 77/44's... I love them all...
I think I'd enjoy checking out your gun safe.
I have an undeniable bit of curiosity about those 77/44s. There's a lot of good points to them.
Yarmouth gunshow in an hour or so. Might have to hit the ATM first.
A bolt action .44 is cool in itself, but add stainless/synthetic (I am not normally a synthetic fan), rotary magazine (with inexpensive readily available extras), open sights plus OEM Ruger system SS rings, 3-P safety etc... yeah, it is a cool gun... but its greatest feature is the handling and feel... Ruger got it just right. I am a tinkerer by nature and inclination... I'm kind of a "gun spa"... they visit for a makeover and then they go on to a new home... but the first time I shot the 77/44 SS, the first thought that came to mind was "I am not touching this one... Ruger got it just right." Even the synthetic...
which model is it?

What a coincidence; I happen to have a spare slot in my safe that would fit a .44 carbine perfectly!
cool. I've been really wanting a 99/44 Deerfield with the rotary mag. Can't find one anywhere. One may have popped up a quite a while back, but the price was sooooo high, that I couldn't afford it. I hope the rumor of Ruger making them again comes true. I have a real beauty blued 77/44 in Walnut, real nice and hardly fired and a custom 96/44 lever action with a stainless heavy barrel. I would consider working out a trade deal with either one for a nice Deerfield.
Had a Ruger 96/44 and sold it a coupla years ago because a guy needed one for his collection and made me a lucrative offer I couldn't refuse.
Have a Chiappa Mare's Laig in 44 Mag that I carry in a holster and a Rossi trapper in 44 Mag.
Both good guns.
