My buddy bought an Italian knock off lever action 45-70 this year and killed an elk with it. Now I want to. Money is not the main issue, but I am wanting a big bore lever to hunt with. Maybe a Browning 1886 in 45-70. Not totally against a Winchester or Browning 71 in .348. I have never fired either. Looking for dependability and accuracy. Suggestions? How are the Browning replica's?
