[QUOTE="348 fan, post: 1884039, member: 113673"] Ok....get a Model 71...348 Winchester...what else....😄 The Browning reproductions made in the 80's are not really collector items and boy do they shoot. You will never pull up a finer lever rifle....and the 348 is the pinnacle of lever gun cartridgrs. Arguably the 444 and 45-70 fill a niche for animals that can really hurt you but the 348 when considering what most people will hunt is king. It's a reloading affair and the Hornady 200 grain flat points are very economical and good for paper and deer but the 250 and 220 Barnes Originals are for anything in North America. I did have a Barnes O separate on a bear so 250 Alaskan Bullet Works are bonded as a choice. ABW's get little action on paper....too many $. What ever you get......please do not scope that lever gun and get a receiver sight if you dont want to shoot the irons. [/QUOTE]
