Ruger Model 44 Deerstalker
The Ruger 44 carbine semi-automatic was a centerfire 4+1 chambered around .44 Remington Magnum. The Ruger 44 had a much-appreciated long production life that ran from 1960 or 1961 to 1985 when Ruger killed it off due to high production costs. Even then, Ruger squeezed out a quarter million of these fine gas-operated rifles. They seem to get passed down from father to son quite a bit. And the ones bought on the used market like here at GunBroker.com are most appreciated for their nostalgic value, their accuracy, dependability and durability. The guns start with an 18.25” length blued barrel and span 36.75” overall. The American walnut stocks have gentle flowing classic lines. The stocks are all one piece of wood, while just about everything else is blued metal, which makes for a nice contrast. Commensurate with their carbine dimensions, they only weigh 5.75 pounds, which makes them fairly easy to tote around. They have 4-round tube magazines under the barrel. Sights varied some over the years, but for the most part, the guns have a gold bead front sight while in back is a folding leaf sight. Additionally, Ruger drilled and tapped the receiver to make it scope-friendly. Ruger sold early versions as the “Deerstalker” but a copyright infringement suit from Ithaca Gun Company ended that. Ruger later kept the same basic stock design for its very popular 10/22s.
