Correct...Ruger .44 carbine, big brother to the Ruger 10/22 in looks, hasn't been made in many years. Was a pretty good short/med range brush gun, owned a couple of them, and doing a lot of deer/hog hunting in clubs and private land along the Ocmulgee and Flint rivers through mid-Ga, could punch right through the thick stuff. I've probably killed as many deer/hogs growing up with those .44's as I did with another famous brush gun, which I still own two of...Marlin 336 CS chambered in .35 Rem. That .35 is a bad brush gun slinging either 180 or moreso 200 grains at the time...

Yup, I've got a 141 Remington pump gun in .35 Rem. There's a ton of notches in the bottom of the stock, Dad put one in for every deer he killed with it. I've shot 3 or 4 with it myself, I still pull it out when I go still hunting in the big woods up north. 200 gr Core Lokt SPs are it's usual diet, but it looks like the Hornady LeverEvolutions are the only ammo being made in .35 right now, so I'll have to try some of them I guess.

My next gun will probably be a lever action, I may be one of the few people in the county that didn't start hunting with a 30-30 lever of some sort. The 141 was my first deer rifle, the first one I bought was a 760 pump in .308, that one I gave to my cousin's kid when he started hunting.

Heath, that was indeed a sad read, and I'll send up a prayer for the family, and see if I can find some change behind the seat of the pickup to send that way.

I just spent the last hour organizing my reloading room after taking about a 2 year break.... I'm plumb out of 40 and my 9 stash is seriously depleted.

I set everything up for my 40 cal load only to discover I've got no 10mm boolits:facepalm:
