New ones should shoot a lot better.  I have one of the older, overbore ones, and you can see my post further down.  The newer ones are supposed to have the correct .429 bore.  The older ones are usually about .432 or so.

Just a heads up, the 2008 model 44mag with the new stock style is likely an SB1, you can only have shotgun or huntsman barrels fitted to it if you're considering other barrels for it. ;)
