Why not go with a 243, it shoot flatter

You cannot deer hunt with a .243 in a rifle in Indiana.

I'm sorry, I not a hunter, unless you consider me leave my wallet open with $5,000 5 feet from the open front door & me waiting for the evil two legged animal with my FAL

I have both the Ruger 77/44 and the Puma/Rossi 44 lever action. The rossi has a much larger magazine obviously, but i also trust the ruger to require on one. The Ruger is far superior. I also really the like the "all-weather" stanless and synthetic build. A beautiful rifle.

I agree! But i like the 77/44 over the carbine!

H&R

the rings are h&r?

I think he was saying he'd go with the H&R Handi Rifle.

The rings that come with the rugers only work on ruger firearms. Thats one nice thing with the rugers, you dont have to but a base/rings and drill and tap like on other firearms.

Though some H&R's come with the scope rail already on them.

I have a Ruger 77/44 I really like the accuracy and that it is a bolt action

If you are willing to spend the $$, (about 600) I would go with the Ruger 77/44. They are sweet, light and hey its a ruger. I love the SST/SYN. However, if you have a smaller budget as I did for my Son in Law, get the Handi Rifle. We just paid 269 for one at Guns and Ordinance in Martinsville. They are a no frills tack driver. Ours came in Matt Blue/Syn and a scope mount.
