On loan to me from a Ruger collector friend of mine who told me to shoot them and enjoy them. They have been in a safe for a couple decades. Those “peep under” aluminum scope rings are awful, of course, but some of you are old enough to remember those. Last edited by Vernon Tull; 02/07/25 09:52 PM.

I also liked the model 99/44 which was only made by Ruger a few years but the action was like a Mini-14 Killed a lot of deer with one of these Deerslayers I had this instead of the Reminting 740 or Winchester 100 it fit on the handle bar gun rack of my 3 wheeler real nice. No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

From previous discussions we've seen here, it seems both the 96/44 lever action and the 99/44 semi-auto suffered from Ruger's use of much cheaper, weaker "hardwood" that was birch or beech instead of genuine walnut. A persistent worry with both the Gen 1 44 Carbine (1961-85) and the 96/44 (1996-2006) was stock cracking from the 44 Mag recoil. I don't understand enough about physics to know why bolt action rifles of much stronger calibers don't crack their stocks.
