Here is the Greatest Brush Deer rifle that I know of, a Ruger Carbine 44 chambered in .44 magnum. This rifle has a 18.5" barrel, iron sights with a rear flip up style & also has a Nikon 4.5x - 14x power scope with adjustable objective / focus on it. This rifles serial number shows a manufacturer date of 1968. These are GREAT shooting carbines and have the awesome knockdown power of a 44magnum. I did test fire this rifle & it cycled & shot perfectly.
