I have one of the Ruger Deerfield carbines in .44 Mag. (the 239th one to roll off the line) I get 2" groups with it at that range with a 2-7 power scope at 100 yards when I put one on, and with the stock peep sights, 2" groups at 50 yards. Both with 300 grain XTP bullets loaded close to max. Hornady custom ammo in the 300 grain range also works well. It will never be a tack driver, but certainly accurate enough.

Great little brush gun, and I never felt undergunned out to 100 yards. It has claimed two deer, and both boys will likely use it to get their first deer. Same size as a 10-22, very compact, and VERY quick in deep woods. I got a stock extension for me from Midway USA, but it works great for the boys as is..
