In this video, I show off the Ruger 44 Magnum carbine. Ruger's first rifle and the brainchild of Bill Ruger debuted in 1961. Production continued until 1985. Over 250,000 of these dandy little rifles were made. The rifle is very light and handy and a joy to shoot. Chambered in the 44 magnum cartridge, it is more than adequate for deer, black bear, and hogs at reasonable ranges. I feel very fortunate to have acquired one. Ruger no longer supports this model, but parts, such as the new stock I put on it, can be found online. Supply seems rather sporadic based on some searches I have done regarding the rifle. #halfassoffgrid #ruger #44magnum #carbine
