The Ruger Model Ninety-Six is one of those rifles that quietly developed a loyal following after production ended. Combining the classic feel and fast handling of a traditional lever-action with Ruger's modern engineering, this lightweight .44 Remington Magnum carbine makes an outstanding choice for deer hunting, hogs, black bear, or as a rugged woods rifle. Its compact profile carries effortlessly while delivering quick follow-up shots in dense timber where lever guns have always excelled.

Chambered in the proven .44 Remington Magnum, this carbine gains a noticeable velocity advantage over revolvers while producing excellent terminal performance inside practical hunting distances. The included Tasco 4-12X scope, mounted in genuine Ruger rings on the rifle's integral dovetail receiver, allows the shooter to take full advantage of the cartridge's accuracy potential. Ruger's rotary detachable magazine feeds smoothly and eliminates the concerns associated with tubular magazines while allowing the use of a broad range of bullet styles.

Unlike traditional lever guns, the Model Ninety-Six utilizes Ruger's robust rotary magazine system and transfer bar safety, creating a modern sporting rifle with classic handling characteristics. The hardwood stock shows attractive grain with only light hunting marks, while the blued finish remains exceptionally strong throughout. Factory iron sights are retained and the receiver remains cleanly configured for optic use without awkward aftermarket mounts thanks to Ruger's integral scope base system.

The .44 Magnum has earned an outstanding reputation as a short-to-medium-range hunting cartridge, offering decisive performance on whitetail deer, feral hogs, black bear, and similar game. With quality hunting ammunition, shots inside 125 yards are well within this rifle's capabilities. Recoil remains comfortable, allowing fast recovery between shots while delivering the hard-hitting authority hunters expect from this legendary cartridge.

Ruger discontinued the Model Ninety-Six years ago, making these rifles increasingly difficult to locate, especially in clean condition with factory Ruger rings, original rotary magazine, and a quality hunting optic already installed. Whether you're a Ruger collector searching for one of the company's more uncommon lever actions or a hunter wanting something different from the ordinary, this Model Ninety-Six represents an increasingly scarce American-made sporting rifle that continues to grow in collector appeal.
