Tell me about your Ruger 77/357 or 77/44 experience

I had a Ruger 77/357 and 77/22. Both threaded and used suppressed. I miss the 77/357. I am not a hunter but if I were I would get the 77/44 over the 77/357.
 
The Ruger #3 was made in .44 Mag and would be a good option. They tend be about the same cost as a new 77/.357.

In addition to my 77/44 bolt action I also have a Ruger #3 in
.44 Mag. Few were made and used prices seem to be fairly high.
I have taken 7 or 8 Deer with it. The action is very strong of
course and it's barrel is 22" which adds a bit more velocity.
Standard full power handloads with Win 296 powder and the
old Speer half jacket 225 gr HP chronograph at over 1900 fps.
Pretty good power for a pistol caliber carbine.
