the Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum is my favorite. Mine has taken many a deer and hog. The only load I have ever used is a Speer Gold Dot 270 grain SP over 21 grains of H110 with Winchester primers.
The rifle/load combination gives me clover leaf groups at 50 yards, and less than 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards.
It kills animals grave yard dead.
