Once upon a time, it was the same for me. No longer. Too big, heavy and the 348 is a bastard cartridge.


Mine would be a Winchester Model 64, preferably the deluxe version, in 25/35.


Agreed. A friend had a 71 in .348 and it was all of those things. Also, he also didn't reload and the factory ammo was expensive with lousy bullets.

A 25/35 would be very cool, but today I'd probably just roll with a 99 in 243 or 7-08.
