This Ruger Model 96-44 lever-action carbine in .44 Magnum is a rare find, produced for only a few years and prized today for its unique rotary magazine and smooth, short-throw action. Chambered in the hard-hitting .44 Magnum, it makes a versatile rifle for hunting, collecting, or range enjoyment.
This example, serial number 640-19008 (2000 production), is in near-mint condition with a mirror-bright bore, strong rifling, and only light handling pressure marks. It features the distinctive case-colored lever, hardwood stock with metal buttplate, and comes complete with its original Ruger rotary magazine and factory scope rings—already mounted with an immaculate Bushnell 3–9x40 optic.
These carbines are seldom seen on the market, especially this clean. For the shooter, it offers reliable feed and ejection; for the collector, it represents one of Ruger’s most sought-after discontinued models. A chance to own a “minty” 96-44 that checks every box for rarity, originality, and condition.
