I've shot one. They would be a sweet rifle for Ohio which now allows straight walled rifles. Lots of levers around, but the 77/44 would be different and unique.

For a 100 yard deer rifle that would work perfectly fine. The one that I shot handled well, shouldered well and shot good enough. I wasn't shooting it off a bench but I think 2" groups would have been possible.

i 've shot my buddies & man are they accurate . but hard to spend that kinda money for them. i own a 44 mag single shot & use the winchester 250 gr bullet good out to a 125 yrds & like shooting a 22 rifle . no kick at all.

Reading a lot of mixed reviews on the Ruger 77/44 most of which is about accuracy .

Wow, those are pricey now. Henry, CVA and Traditions all offer 44mag single shots for about half that price or much less than half on sale.
