Dreaming of an Alaskan in .480 Ruger...

I do enjoy the .44 Magnum quite a bit. We have a revolver (Model 29) and a couple carbines (Rossi 92 and suppressed Ruger 77/44) in said.

I have a 6.5" stainless Model 29.
Awesome trigger, super accurate.
Fun to shoot.

I am in want of a new Henry side gate 20" in 44 Mag
They announced the Big Boy Steel side gates last fall and just can't seem to get them out to the dealers !

Our is very similar, but blued. Indeed, nice trigger, very accurate, just a fine shooter all around.

As an enthusiast one should have a certain few firearms in the collection.
Like a levergun, a 1911 and a S&W revolver.

I used to have a .787 rifle made in Finland.


I had about 80 pieces of brass: about 30 waffen stamped, and about 50 new pieces turned by a guy in Colorado with initials LL.

Spring 2006 - I drove up to Marble Pass to set up a range and test loads in the LL brass.
First step was to confirm that no one could drive up the east side of the pass into my shooting range:



This is the gun. I cut a block of aluminum to fit the base for the iron sights, and fitted a scope to it:



This is the range. The farthest target is 400 yards. It's the little white dot at 2:30 o'clock from the 100 yard target:



It was a good day.
The new brass spread the groups, but not by much. I tweaked the load and tightened things up later. This is the 400 yard target that day:



June 2007 ECSA machinegun shoot - this is the former sheriff of Wallowa County shooting the gun at a 900 yard gong. He hit it. He was a really good guy. Battling cancer at the time. Not sure if he's still around.



I don't have the gen 2 Runner or the gun anymore. C'est la vie. I miss both sometimes. Enjoy life as it happens.

The gun was barreled with a Flak barrel by Bill Guiette. He made a receiver adaptor for a 1919 pintle. I built the break-down wooden stand from rough cut 2x4's, tensioned by ratchet straps. The dimension fit a standard pickup bed. I made it to be a "technical".

I bought the gun from an Oregon resident. Who knows, maybe he's a member here and will chime in. He'll recognize the cheekpiece. He made it.
Edit - now that I think about, I'm pretty sure the guy was from Washington.

I had the gun for about 8 years, and then sold it.

Good times.

I've had a few different Model 29s over the years, but without one now. I have picked up a pair of lever actions over the last few months, a Uberti reproduction of the Winchester 1873 in .45LC and a Winchester/Miroku 1886 in .45-70. Love `em both. Whole different kind of fun than shooting ARs.

@DirectDrive Henry big boy 44 mag 20" currently in stock right now at Sportsman's Warehouse online. Among other Henry side gates in various calibers and configurations.

CV arms 45-70, Rossi 44 mag carbine, Ruger Blackhawk Bisley 45 Colt, S&W 629 44 Mag, Rock Island 1911 45acp, Ruger Vaquaro 44-40 Ruger Blackhawk 41 Mag and a Sig P-220 10mm. The last 2 don't make as big of a hole as the others but they feel like a big bore none the less.

I have a few big bores... .44 magnum, .45LC, 45-70gov primarily. One of my favorite though is a Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV two-shot Derringer that shoots .45LC/.410 shotgun. That one is a lot of fun.
