Ruger 96 44

#1 Post by jimbob »

Has anyone got any experience of these rifles?

Seen a couple for sale and liked the idea but not ever heard much about them.

Nice rifles apart from the magazine capacity.
There was talk years ago about higher capacity mags being made.
One of my clubs had one as a club gun.
A guy at my current club also has one and a bucket of spare mags!

Yep, mag capacity has always put me off this. I've always fancied one.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Four round rotary magazine to take pointy bullets, fast twist to take heavy bullets, short throw lever action for fast follow up shot. Made as a hunting rifle and works as a hunting rifle. What is not to like for its intended purpose?

For it's intended purpose, nothing wrong with it at all, but for my purpose, plinking at targets, four rounds takes some of it away for me....
