I am new here but I wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations on a .44 magnum rifle. Primary use will be for deer hunting and plinking. I have been looking at the Marlin 1894 and Ruger M77/44. I have seen in my research that a lot of people use the Rossi Puma 92's as well. What do most people think about the rifle twist and the heavier bullets.
I have also considered a .357 mag as well for the ability to shoot 38's too. I realize the limitiations of the gun for hunting situations though, just like the .44 mag. For any distance at all, I have a T/C Muzzleloader. This new rifle will be for more plinking and short distance shooting in tight woods and brush.
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks,
