By the serial number letters BB ahead of your serial number,it sounds to me as if you have a Winchester model 1894 XTR big bore.These were chambered for the .307Win,.356Win,and .375Win,cartridges from 1983-1998.The .375 Win cartridge was only available from 1983-1987.Later they added the 444 Marlin to this line.Being that your rifle is marked with the XTR marking,this dates your rifle from 1983-1989.

Marlin did not produce a model 444 rifle with a saddle ring. The saddle ring was more common on lever-action rifles like the Model 336 or Model 1894.
The original Marlin model 444 rifle was discontinued in 2007. This lever-action rifle was known for its powerful .444 Marlin cartridge, designed for big game hunting. Though it has seen various iterations since, the original model's production came to an end that year.
