Looking at buying one for deer season. Will be in a lot of bush so considering the Ruger 44 mag. If anyone can provide some opinions, that would be great.
Thanks,

i have one in the semi bought it new two years ago it is a fine rifle for doggen or in tight spots .. the semi had a problem with there clips but that has been solved ... i have shot deer out to 118 lazerd yards,clean pass through with a 240 grain bullet . if you live near port hope area and want to shoot a semi before you buy one just buy a couple of boxes of cheap 44mag bullets and come down for a mornign or afternoon shoot i have lots of proporty that i can shoot on.... mine is topped with a 2-7 scope as well and i have no problem finding deer in the scope
ruger 44
hey i had one 20 + years ago called a carbine i think great little gun in thick woods. i bought it used and it turned out to be a single shot about half the time. but one shot is about all i ever needed and on deer there was no tracking needed. hopefully they feed better now than then . i didnt keep it but a few years and traded it in. philip
thanks philip
I have had a Ruger 44 mag carbine for about 20 years now. Got my first deer with it. Great little bush gun that just sits nice and cumfortable in your hand while trudging through the bush.

44mag
I have a Marlin 44mag lever action with 16 carbine barrel and forward scout rail and trijicon dot sight. I have bagged several deer with it with 240gr federal Hyro shocks. Normally the bullet always passes through with a lung shot. I took one deer at a 115 yards but most shots were like 30 yards.
