Our Assessment: Designed as a close range carbine for deer hunting in dense woods, Ruger released the Model 44 Carbine in 1961 as the “Deerstalker”, a moniker it used until 1962 after which a lawsuit brought by the Ithaca Gun Company prohibited them from doing so. The design influenced the smaller and more popular Ruger 10/22 model chambered in .22 LR that would debut in 1964. The rifle was discontinued in 1985 due to high production costs. Today these firearms are highly sought out for their compact size and fire power. This Ruger 44 Carbine is in Very Fine condition and already set up with a Leupold VARI-X 3 1.5X5 Scope. It is solid ready for action! Please see our photos and good luck on your bid! M.C
