It looks nice. My brother has a 44 mag rifle, it is accurate and seems to hit pretty hard.

Seems like it would make a decent short range deer gun.

I have the Marlin 1894 lever action in .44 Magnum with a peep sight for whitetail deer hunting. I put one right through the heart at 150 yards last season. I can hit a paper plate reliably free hand at 150 yards. You can group to about 4" with a rest. Aslo, good gun for "plinking" at things like engine blocks, shooting holes in rail road ties, etc. You know, just small targets. :)

Another good choice if deer hunting is your need is a 20 gauge with a rifled barrel and a sabot slug. You can make the same 150 yard shot with it.

Not to mention a good short-range thug gun.
