Re: Ruger "Deerfield" 44 carbine?

I have had one down here in Spain for 10 years, the "Deerfield" model with the rotary mag. For 90% of the monterias I have been on here it is the gun I use. I take a 30.06 in case I get a "peg" on a plain (rare) but nearly all shots are at 75 yards or less and it puts pigs, fallow and red deer down almost at once. If you do get one it is a good idea to loktite the screw holding the trigger group to the action (using blue NOT red loktite, you can then undo it) and the front barrel band with the swivel sling as these two have a habit of shooting loose otherwise. Ammo is interesting too, the Winchester 240 grain softs have a VERY small dimple hollow point and I havenīt recovered one of these, they just zip through at least in side on shots but Remingto Core Lokt explode, best, Mike
