Indiana does not currently allow much in the way of factory rifle cartridges. That is why the OP is asking about guns in 44 Mag. My choice would probably be the 1894, but I'd want to fire it to make sure it is accurate. Some guns have accuracy issues relating to poor quality control on bore size.
There are other Rugers in 44 Mag, that are worth a look, like the semi-auto and the '96 lever action. You might find them used.
