Me too
I have a 66 and a 73 in 44 special.
Love them both
I have three 92s in 44 mag .
If I was to choise any rifle in 44 mag ,
It would be the 92 .
Run them down to light 44 specials,
Or Hot 44 mag .
The 92 will do it all.
I look at the 66 and 73 as sexy 44 special rifles .
I run 240gr XTP .
With H110 a tuch hotter then Super Blackhawk Ruger loads.
And my 92 is good to about 200 yards with a hard hit.
LOL Im only good to 100 yards.
Lord I pray you give Shotgun Bandit Peace and healing.
Lord give the doctors stady hands and the abilities needed
To repair his body.
Lord please give him a speedy recovery .
Its in Jesus name I pray .
Amen
I was in Gander Mountain buying a Winchester 9422 .
The guy billing me out was Deuce Stevens .
I was telling him Im a big fan of Single action guns .
And I am a Cowboy at heart.
Deuce asked me if I ever herd of SASS and cowboy action shooting .
I said NO .
Deuce said there was a shoot that weekend in Rockford.
And I should come check it out .
I went to the shoot and WOW !
This is what Im all about .
Deuce said you will need a Pistol caliber rifle.
And Two Pistols and a Shotgun.
Some holsters and a gun cart .
I said I have everything except a gun cart.
My buddy Scott who is a wood worker said he would help me build a gun cart.
I had a gun cart and was at the next shoot .
I still have the same gun cart.
And five complet sets of guns to play the game.
Im Not in the fast game .
But Im in the fun game for life !
Thank you Steve for all your help threw out the years.
Uberti makes the 73 in 44 mag .So it must pass standered presher specs.
I would not run a stady load of hot 44 mags threw one .
But I would imagine a diet of cowboy loads of 44 mag
it should run for a very long time .
But they have them listed on thier website .
I have bought and sold maney Marlins .
Personally I never liked them .
I have three slick 92s in 44 mag that I love.
Everyone says the 92 is slow .
Not true .
The 92 can be run faster then most shooters can shoot.
Look up Deuce Stevens Rossi 92 on YouTube.
I did buy a 73 in 44 special that Im running BP loads threw.
Alot easier to clean BP out of a 73 then the 92.
But IMHO you should look at a 92 in 44 mag .
