I have a .45-70 Marlin that I set up to deer hunt with. However, I take my deer rifles out every once and a while for an extended range session and the .45-70 is way on the far side of pleasant. I am thinking of swapping it for a Marlin .44 magnum lever gun and have a few quick questions. Will one piece scope mounts interchange between the two. Also, what does the trajectory of a 240 JSP .44 magnum out of a rifle look like and what is the maximum effective range for deer hunting with it. This would also be able to double as a house rifle for my wife, obviously the .45-70 will not work since she is about 100 pounds!
