I can pickup a CVA Scout in 44 mag 25 in flutted stainless barrel with scope mounts for $299 or a CVA Hunter in black and blue in 450 Bushmaster with scope rings for $269. Having a Ruger 44 mag pistol would be easy on ammo, the 450 shells are a bit pricey and not to much to pick from. There both single shot guns but I don't mind. Once sighted in I might only shot it once or twice a year.
