Linebaugh. I don't imagine Ruger will want to invest even more money into the new company, at least for a while. The 444 wasn't a great seller for the old Marlin so again the bean counters will probably make that decision. The 45-70 frame will handle a lot of calibers up to the 50 Alaskan so not sure there is a market for the 444. My opinion only.
