I got my father in law a Marlin 1894 in 44 mag. He shot quite a few deer with it..but finally gave up on it and went to my Rem 141 in 35 Rem. He considered the 44 a 50-60 yard gun. He never lost a deer with the 44 but he really wasn't happy with the performance..even with some of my rather hot handloads..I would consider the 45 Colt loaded hot to be a slightly better performer than the 44. He also liked my 444 Marlin and the 1895 45-70 I have. But really preferred the 141..kicked less and killed well. He was an excellent shot and hunter
