should i keep the 44 carbine and use it for hog and deer and forget about the 6.8 , or get the 6.8 Thanks

You should keep the ruger 44mag and buy a 6.8 barrel and bolt and 5 round 6.8 mag (and maybe gas block), swap out your 5.56 barrel and bolt....walla...best of both worlds.
It's so easy...You Can Do It!

really???? swap a .223 to 6.8? not even economically feasible. IMO.... Barrel @$300.00 bolt @ $100.00 5 rnd mags anywhere from $18.00 to $46.00 ....

300 is the most bang for the buck... Barrels run about $200 - $250 and 5 rnd .223 mags are about $15.00 ....

I paid $275 for a 6.8 barrel and bolt, $19 for a five round mag but I've seen 10/25 rd mags for as low as $14....sure you want a PRI mag $46....
He said he wanted a 6.8....my advice is go here for barrel & bolt http://www.ar15performance.com/6_8_arp

oh i forgot, you need a flash suppressor that is 5/8x24 thread .....

Did you sell the Ruger 44 Mag Carbine? I sold mine on gun broker for $510 and was happy with that...

No I didn't sell the 44 , I really wanted that a long time ago and it still shoots great and everyone i spoke to said they would keep it, so after long talks with moma i scraped the money togeather to get the 300
