For sale is a Ruger Model 96 lever-action rifle in .44 Rem Mag. Serial number- 640-06635. This rifle is in great condition and it comes with a Bushnell 4×32 power scope, original scope rings, and magazine. It was manufactured in the second year of the 96's production in 1997.

The .44 Remington Magnum 96/44 feeds from a four-round rotary magazine. It does not share magazines with the Ruger 77/44. The action of the 96/44 does not anchor itself directly to the stock with an action screw as almost all rifles do. There is a block on the underside of the barrel that is threaded for the action screw. The stock is attached to the barrel and the barrel to the action. The rifled barrel has a twist rate of 1 turn in 20", allowing heavy hunting bullets to stabilize. This is relatively rare for .44 Magnum firearms, which usually are rifled at a rate of 1 turn in 38 inches. The 1:20" twist enables the use of 325gr ammunition for hunting large game.
