SUB-MOA 44 Mag Rifle!!!

[@happyhillbilly3466]

I used a .44 mag for a whitetail this year for the first time in 47 years of hunting! Mine was a 7 1/2” Ruger Super Blackhawk revolver!

[@martyadams3915]

.44 mag is just an awesome caliber period. I have the ruger .44 auto carbine and love it. Yesterday I was looking through some of the collection and found an old H&R handi rifle that's in .22 hornet. The hornet barrel has seen its better days and has a few inches of erosion past the chamber. I'm now going to look for a .44 mag barrel to bring this old handi rifle back into regular use.

[@allthingsconsidered3211]

they dont make either of those anymore do they? 😢 alwways heard great things

[@js7127]

Wish you the best of luck. Have been looking years for a 357 mag barrel to reem to max for mine, only found one for $435. Could buy a complete Scout rifle for less.

[@allthingsconsidered3211]

@ a 12g barrel or single shot and a bbl chamber adapter from chazel in 357 max might be cheaper and then youd have a 12g and 357 max

[@billy56081]

@@allthingsconsidered3211 Year ago I chopped off a 12 Guage barrel and bought a 357 barrel the fit inside the chamber. I epoxied and welded it, made a nice 357 single shot.

[@billy56081]

How did you shoot out a 22 Hornet barrel?

[@mogulrider]

You just made my Remington 788 44 Mag Bolt action from 1967 about double the value. Thks brother. Not that I'd ever sell it. It is my go-to deer and bear rifle for the big woods. Wait until your see the holes in the deers. Tracking them is easy. Just look for the spray hose on the trees. LOL> Great great rifles these 44 magnum bolties. FYI - I use Winchester white box and Magtec 240gr SP. It's not target ammo. For those interested Mason Outdoors on YT has done tons of ballistics gel testing for 44 mag. Incredible power.

[@chuckkulick8635]

Had me 3 788 back in late 70's the 222 was the most accurate gun I ever owned u could not get it to group over .90 with anything had the 44mag stolen from deer camp another tac driver with the old Remington sjsp 240g and a 308 regretting getting rid of them do to job loss wish 788 would come back try finding one now

[@mogulrider]

@@chuckkulick8635 I have the 788 30-30, 44 mag, 243, and 308. They all shoot superbly. All the rifles I need other than my CVA muzzie. The 788s are around on gunbroker and Guns Intl.

[@frankrodriguez9697]

Love that you have the 788. Have only seen pictures. I do rugers 44mag #3,96,auto carbine. Bug bore yea

[@rotisseriebear5394]

@@chuckkulick8635 My dad gave me his old 788 in 222. On hand loads he could get one ragged hole. Thumb hole stock, glass bedded, with a Burris 6X scope. He won several trophies and medals in the late '70s with it. I can't shoot quite as well, and my hand loads aren't as dialed in, but I never shot any rifle that I could do better with. I feel your loss on that stolen slinger.

I pretty much love EVERYTHING in 44 Magnum! - I dont care if it's the Ruger RedHawk revolver.. the Desert Eagle pistol..the Colt Anaconda revolver.. the Ruger 44 Carbine or the Ruger Deerfield.. or the wide assortment of lever guns.. if it's in 44 Mag then I want it in my collection! I would love to get my hands on a Ruger 77/44.. and that stainless model looks real nice! If there are 3 calibers that I absolutely love and that I have been shooting since the 80's and have never lost any love for.. it is .44Mag.. .22WMR.. and 7.62X39 - 3 of my favorite calibers! I started off learning all about brass reloading with .44 Mag.. 7.62x39.. and then 12gauge.. and now I reload brass for several other calibers.. but it all started with 44Mag and 7.62x39. Keep up the great work Who_Tee_Who.. I love your content!

[@ammohead73]

[@michaellai2062]

Another great video ! I really appreciate you reviewing budget friendly stuff. That appeals to the everyday man. When people review thousand dollar guns and scopes I just can't identify with them. I'm a kind of K-mart Walmart kind of guy

[@davidanderson3875]

My 77/44 was awesome and ran well with Nosler 240 JSP or Hornady 240 XTP. The barrel is pretty thin and warms up quick. After 3-4 shots-gotta let it cool. I didn’t realize that until fighting several range sessions getting all kinds of mad. Good luck to you this deer catchin season!

[@1AbominAble1]

I have a 77/44 too, it’s an outstanding deer rifle. The first one that I bought had a bad barrel, hardest recoiling 16 rounds that I’ve ever fired-made 300 win mag feel like 556. Ruger bought it back. I purchased another one, had the barrel threaded ( older model than yours ), shimmed the bolt, and put a 77/22 trigger sear by either Tandem Kross or Volquartson ( can’t recall ) With a 1.5-5 power optic it hacks deer out to 225 yards on flat farmland, several in the 180 yard range and in- all were through and through. The 44 out of my now 17.5 inch barrel is an absolute beast. I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

[@Bill-4570]

Had to get up and put some firewood in the stove it's 11:30 pm here🇨🇦stayed up watched the video , dam good job sir👍was thinking just before you said it ...yep that's a keeper , lookin forward to your deer catching video with it👍

[@archer7141]

So glad to see some else showing love for the 77/44. I put a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 on mine. I’m getting 1.25 to 1.50 inch groups at 100 yards with the Hornady LeveRevolution ammo. Needless to say it’s gonna be in my hands next Saturday morning for the opening of PA’s rifle deer season.

[@oncall21]

Hey Hooty. That’s a lot of lead that will smack down a deer no problem. That set up would also make a great rig for pigs too! Sensible choice of scope too. I’ve got a Loopy 2-7x32 scope on my 30-30 which is plenty. Warm barrels and thanks for sharing!

[@MrSavage170]

My up close rig is a CVA Scout 44 mag with a 2x7 Leupold and it loves the Hornady LeveRevolution load I've shot 2 nice bucks with it so far1st one dropped on the spot and the 2nd didn't make it past 10 yards.

[@mikes8915]

Great to hear! the leverevolution groups great out of my rifle gonna try it this season

[@atatton9892]

Love the .44 mag cartridge in everything I've shot it in. As for the first site-in shot being low at 100, I've seen it before and predicted it this time. It's because the scope is mounted lower than most of yours so your "sight" and "hit" dots at 10 are farther apart than the scope and the bore axis. Keep up the great work...I watch your stuff almost every night!

[@brianklamer3328]

Thats an impressive first 100 yard group with factory ammo in a new rifle! You're a damn good shot.

[@SSgt-]

My old Ruger 44 Carbine doesn’t group that well but I have taken a 6 point at 140yds with it.

[@pwmiller5759]

I was in FFA back in the 70’s and you could actually win a lever action 44 mag if you sold enough fruit .. 😂 Can you imagine that nowadays? 😅 Of course I never sold enough but it was a good dream.. 💭

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Pretty accurate and potent stuff. I never heard of Mueller scopes but I am glad you didn’t go with a 6-24x50 type scope for a 44 Mag. That 2-7x32 is perfect for that rig. You already know that I want a couple 44 Mag firearms, one a lever gun and the other a revolver. Good luck 🍀 this season

[@zachchristensen1394]

Wow 44 mag has a crazy following lots of ppl excited for this content!! We recently picked up a Rossi 44 mag I’ve been working on I need to put a red dot on it but it’s pretty sweet!!

[@davidabernathy4553]

Well now this is an interesting video. and, a very interesting caliber. I have always been a huge fan of the 44 mag cartridge. I have revolvers and carbines chambered in that cartridge. I thought for sure that you would have an Arkens scope mounted on that.

[@catfishsiegel30]

.68 is what I been getting out of my 77/44 @100 yrds with same ammo you are using. I can do better with my hand loads. Good video sir

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome

[@scottmcclure1196]

I am a fan of the 44 mag rifle. Only problem with your site in is that it will be about 2.5"-3" high at 50 yards. I would have left it at about 1"- 2" low at 100, then you would be between 1.5" low (at the muzzle), but from 25 yards through 80ish you would be about zero through .5" high, and then dropping to no more than 2" low at 100 yards, which is about it's ideal max range. If you needed it to shoot a little farther, let say 125ish then just hold about 2" higher at that distance. So basically from zero to 100 yards is your zero hold range and still be pretty much spot on. Before I realized this, I was wondering why I was dropping deer but my impacts were like 3" higher than my aim point when I would shoot them at 40 to 60 yards.

[@jeremymcauliff8485]

These rifles suppress very well. .44 magnum for supersonic loads, .44 Special for quiet subsonic fun.

The groups are pretty good for as heavy bullet as the 44 magnum uses. I’ve never heard of a Mueller rifle scope before but I am going to look them up. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and seen where you’ve used a lot of things that were new to me which has Inspired me to research.

Nice groups ! Like the scope ring color match.

[@randy129]

Ruger made a 44 in the 10/22 action from the 60’s to the 80’s called the deer slayer. You should keep an eye out for that one at tolivers.

[@billyb.9878]

I have that rifle. I'm in MI. which is a straight wall cartridge in the southern part only. Anyway the rifle is awesome. BUT @ 100 yards only. With practice you might hit 125 yards. I've taken 20 deers with it. But like I said 100 yards is about it. Keep that in mind. I've since gone to a 350 legend. I harvest deer w/neck & head shots. And the 350 has a tighter group. I like a clean body cavities for heart & liver harvest. Good luck and that is a fun rifle.

[@FrankLuck-n1x]

Ive owned and hunted with a ruger 77/44 for roughly 15 years now. It is my favorite rifle. I average about a 2" group with it......but it has taken every deer i have shot at with it. Its also a "forever rifle". Good lucķ this season.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

AWESOME

[@safaricartvideos]

When ammo was hard to find a few years ago I bought a few boxes of 180 gr. because it was all I could find, before that I had only used 240gr in my Henry. I expected a change in point of impact, but it was much more than I expected. At 25 yards the 180gr hit about 5 inches higher, maybe at longer distances they get closer. I had to put a note on my rifle reminding myself where to set the rear sight depending on which bullet weight I'm shooting. I should have just waited until I found some 240gr, now I have a few boxes of both.

[@frankrodriguez9697]

180 good medicine for 1-34 twist rate on older 44s.

[@petemarkle1083]

I have several Mueller scopes and they do great!. Don't expect Swarovski performance but for the money they're spot on...

[@dimebag117]

Man that's awesome! You're at muzzleloader performance with that thing brother, with a typical muzzleloader setup with 100 gn of powder & a 250 gn bullet you get roughly 1500 to 1600 fps. If you keep that thing i would say within around 120 yds just to be safe, it will absolutely throttle a deer! Man I'm excited for you & excited to see how it performs on meat, that is so freakin cool man I can't wait to see what it can do. You have a great day & God Bless you brother!

I know you have a deal with Remington for ammo, but do yourself a favor and get some dies, Bullseye powder, hard cast 240gn bullets and some 44 Special cases (and save your 44 mag cases!) You can load down/ 44 special for small game/ does, up to full power 44 mag for anything else.. Trust me, it will become a favorite rifle, and great for kids/ new shooters with the lighter loads :)

[@mikecollins8241]

Hornady 240gn XTP's for Bucks, bear, elk etc..

[@MattWaller04]

That's quite a fine addition to the collection! Would you mind doing some power/penetration testing between this and your .44 mag revolver? That extra barrel length I bet really gives it some extra sauce.

[@steveyoung9951]

The 45 acp with a 230gr bullet goes more like 850fps lol, Awesome Rifle!

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

That depends on the ammo and who loaded it. I have a +P load for my Ruger Blackhawk convertible 45LC/45ACP and it pushes a 230gr bullet 950fps. That is a good pig load with FP bullet.

[@brendancasey1820]

I love the Ruger M77, I have two of them and the American as well. I also have a scoped Red Hawk in 44 mag but if I were going to get a companion rifle in 44 mag I would probably go with a lever gun. For the ranges that you would use 44 mag a lever action would be great.

[@markproffitt4935]

Glad you are enjoying your 77/44. It's a beautiful rifle. In your first video you were having difficulty removing the magazine. I posted a comment describing how I get the magazine out of mine and thought it might work for you too. It looked like you removed it this time the way I described and it looked like it came out easier. I was just curious if it's coming out easier for you now and if my comment helped? Love watching your videos. Good luck opening morning coming up this weekend. Love to soon be watching a video of you taking one with your new 77/44.

[@allthingsconsidered3211]

44 special is naturally subsonic, so a "supersonic vs subsonic video would be cool to see. and hunting with subs would be awesome if you can get a good bullet. thx for sharing. (hornady also makes up to a 300 gr xtp so you could also download ur 44mag if u handload

[@True70woodsman]

I know what you mean by wanting a scope even though ur good with the iron sights. I didn’t take my new Ruglin 30-30 much last year because of the irons. It’s got a scope now. You can hunt at least 10 minutes longer in the afternoon with a scope.

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Something to also think about, is if you are using about 100 grains of black powder, and a Hornady XTP or similar saboted 240 grain, you would be at a similar fps with your muzzleloader.
