I recall for some reason you had an eye for the .44 mag in a rifle or carbine.
Going back many years, while hunting whitetail deer, in the nearby mountains along the Mass. border, friend had 300 acres up there, I had borrowed a ruger carbine in that caliber, with hand loads. The peak was somewhere around 1000 feet above sea level, and the weather bitter cold as in single digits. I was still hunting on the ground and observing an old logging road, a nice 8 point buck came out and I was sighted in on him, pulled the trigger and nothing, well I did get the click, firing pin hit, but it did not go off, then it did, some sort of delayed reaction, buck was gone, I had figured it was the cold. In those days, finances were really tough, low pay job, did not even own a firearm, used to borrow dads Winchester "94, and or anyone elses available, always made sure to clean and oil etc., funny thinking back, who in heck would let you "borrow" a firearm today LOL !
I liked the "94 in .32 special, not long range but just fine for most conditions here.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
