1200 dollars of piss poor accuracy.. have you seen the mini-30's or 14's shoot well without modifications..? I havent.. usually 2-3inches scoped mounted at 100 yards.. decent reloads might hold just below 2..
Id invest my money in a Browning bar.. before a mini ruger series.. fun plinkers.. nothing more.

settle down now, indiana dont allow for the good guns for deer.. they allow for handgun caliber rifles of .357 and over. the .44 mag is beautiful for that. otherwise.. i mean my name might not say it. but id use a .243 bust them bad boys down across the feild and not lose much meat.

$1200? Wow, must just be a local thing. Gunbroker has one for $450 buy it now and a whole bunch for around $500. If they're going for that much, you should buy a few and sell them in your area, turn around and buy a whole bunch of ammo!
Speaking of pistol caliber rifles, I just bought a Puma 92 in 454 to go with my 454 Super Redhawk. Should be a good combo.

mr.243 its too bad the other posters don't know enough about guns in general or Rugers in particular to know you're not asking anout Mini-14s or Mini 30s.
I don't don't know what the Ruger Deerfield or the original 44 mag rifle sell for now but they are expensive when you find one. You just don't find them very often.
If the gun is gone then its gone. I have passed on guns in the past that would be worth 4 or 5 times the asking price today.
I checked on Gunbroker. Several have sold over the last 90 days. The highest priced one went for $775.00. The rest were around $650.00.

Contrary to the WRONG misinformed post of jimmar, the Ruger .44 carbines are indeed perhaps the fastest handling/shooting of all. 44 mag rifles, and perhaps the most deadly close range brush guns ever made. For the purpose they were made, they excel. Sure they might only produce groups of 2"-4" at 100 yards, but how far would you ethnically shoot at a deer with a .44 mag rifle in the 1st place? For 0-100 yards, they offer 5 shots of .44 mag as fast as you can pull the trigger-all in an handy lightweight package. I currently have 2 of them and honestly have jumped deer out of their beds and put them down before they even get started running.

You do know that the Ruger Model 44 is an entirely different rifle than the Mini-14 don't you? That they have nothing in common save for the fact that both are semi-auto carbines? Your apples/oranges comparison between the two would suggest otherwise.
the gun was pretty accurate at 100 yds,
the simple fact is, you cant really be very succesful with a 12 gauge and a slug at that distance, not saying you cant do it. but in the stand you will get a little iffy.. and the muzzleloader you get one shot.. sure blah blah blah thats all you need, i know your all john waynes and what not.. the point is the ruger in 44. is a perfect deer machine for indiana, but good ol marlin shipped quite a few of theyre lever .44 mags to us over the last few years. and those arnt hard to come by, i bought my girl a rossi 92 in .357, she dropped two pretty nice does with it, one ran about 30 yds and she seen were it fell, good thing to because it left NO blood, the shot was a little back, but the second dropped in its tracks, she took a quarter away shot and somehow busted, i mean BUSTED! both shoulders and took out a few ribs, bullet was lodged in the shoulder closest to her, so it had to ricochet right? either way.. did its job.
