i just ordered a new 96/44 from a dealer, i would like to know if any of you have had any experiences with this gun, like the accuracy, durability, and if it can feed reliably. i was going to choose either a marlin/winchester lever action but i wanted the small size and a magazine which ruger was able to offer. any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

A fine rifle for the money. The barrel twist is real good for heavy bullets like the 300 gr.

THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO START TO OPEN THE ACTION TO PUT THE MAGAZINE IN.
