I thought it would be a neat little gun and really don't want to push it past 50 maybe 75 yards. Really want to know what, if any, are the down sides to this handy little carbine? My dad is looking for a companion to his Ruger Super Redhawk for hog hunting and brush hunting deer. I know the capabilities of the 44 mag, just want to know some opinions on the 96-44. Also since I don't reload, I was planning to use the buffalo bore heavy 44 magnum loads. They claim their loads to be good on game up to 1000 lbs.
