So I guess we should all hunt with whatever is the cheapest firearm that performs the same task and minimize our requirements so preclude anything not strictly utilitarian? That sounds like a lot of fun.
I reckon the $3000 I spent on a custom flintlock was a total waste of money then. I'm too dumb to realize I could've spent $200 for whatever is on the rack at Walmart instead
Anyone hunting with a 44 mag rifle? I'm interested in moving that direction for a 100yrds or less hunting rifle.
Anyone hunt further than that, any issues, and concerns. I am we'll aware of the hype hy bullet expansion and how the bullet falls faster. That's why I was thinking 100 or less. And I would want to hunt deer and/or hog, other big games.
What do you think the limits of big game would be for this rifle, at 100 yes or less. I'm hunting more wooded areas, not major long distance.
Yep, he caught that hunk of wheel weight to. One pitch, once catch. Dead right there at home plate, he never took a step.Anyone hunting with a 44 mag rifle? I'm interested in moving that direction for a 100yrds or less hunting rifle.

When I look at .44Mag rifles in that price range, it's hard for me not to come back to the current Miroku Winchester 92's.
News to me. Model #?Ruger does make a .44 Mag lever-action, as do several other companies
44 mag over 45-70 for bears???? You hate that 45-70, but it absolutely dominates 44 mag in every single way and does it at far lower pressure.I'd prefer it over a 45-70 for bear protection
I could probably be called a .44Mag Kool Aid drinker but the .45-70 is absolutely a bigger hammer. One of the biggest differences is in the rifles themselves. An off the shelf Marlin 1895 will handle whatever heavyweight bullets you wanna feed it. The .44Mag's with their stupid-slow 1-38" twist and cycling limitations top out at standard length 300gr. That certainly broadens the gap.44 mag over 45-70 for bears???? You hate that 45-70, but it absolutely dominates 44 mag in every single way and does it at far lower pressure.
Nobody offers a new .44 mag rifle I want
The new Marlins are crap
