I have a thing for lever actions, but I've never shot one of these. Anyone hunt with a 44 mag rifle?

I do, have, and always will.
I’ve had and have several of about every Forty-Four rifle made.
My go-to is a Henry BBS 16” with the big loop replaced with standard lever and Skinner dovetail ghost sights and front blade.
But, the current Winchester 92 can be had new for about $850 and its the best hands down.
I’ve killed about everything that needs killin with every type round to include handloads and the 240gr factory JSP does as good a job as any. The funky flavors kill no better but sometimes kill worse than the cheapo. The Buffalo Bore Type Keith loads are a whole nuther animal.
A 41 mag kills no better than my 410 using Brenneke slugs, its a fact.
I even have some 44’s scoped but It really ain’t necessary. I keep all my 44 mag shots at less than 100 because I always hunt like I’m bow hunting anyway.Last edited by Johnny44; 05-16-2018, 08:18 PM.
