The question with the 77/44 is how accurate is it? The one i had was lousy.

I do love a good 44 mag carbine though. My Ruger Deerfield and Winchester 94 Trapper get it done. The 240 XTP is good, but even at a reduced 1600 fps I've had them come unglued. Most game animals are still flattened by them even if they blow up.
