Shikari 44Mag ?
« on: December 29, 2010, 11:05:25 AM »
Hey guys I'm looking at a H&R Shikari 44Mag for $245.00. Desent shape.
1974-75 vintage. Nice wood. Tight fitting reciever. Couldn't find much
in the FAQs. Would this be a good, bad or ugly deal  ??? Any help
would be welcome. Thanks much!   reclusej

Sounds ok if it's in prime condition, do a search for shikari, select just this forum from the list of forums, lots of hits.

I had one years ago, shouldnt have let it get away, it was a real good lead bullet shooter. What you going to get for that much (little) money anymore?

Good ones are getting hard to find so if it's nice go for it. They're good looking rifles and are said to shoot well too.

I believe it was a 28" barrel but not sure. My bad!!!
They also made 24" barrel. Besides the 4" was there any
great difference in the two ? reclusej  :-[

IIRC, the 45-70 was the longer, the .44Mag about 24".
