Several I like the primary is the model 71 but I wouldn't carry one in the woods. Too expensive. For hunting I'd say the 336 is my preference then the model 1894 Marlin. I've got a pre-64 Winchester but usually take out the Marlins. I'm surprised one of the finest lever guns produced wasn't mentioned. Sako Finwolf in 308.

re:Gringo Loco
If you read my letter closely you'll see I was joking about the trade-anyone that would make that trade would have to be crazy-but you know with that Gringo Loco label.......a man just has to try-I looked at this old box of WIN silvertips 200gr. price: $6.29!!!-that will give you an idea about how old I am!!-way too creaky to shoot that 348 anymore-my ex-wife sent me out for a loaf of bread, that will soon be 20 yeaars ago-I got sidetracked in the pursuit of happiness-I left behind about 70 really nice guns and a few unbarrelled actions and a complete shop-the lesson I learned is that NOTHING is worth your happiness-take care and be happy-if I rebarrel a 348 I will do it with a 358 dia. barrel-at least that will take care of my bullet selection

Hmmmmmm and 358/348AI...... THAT would git're done fer sure!!! I too think the 35-348 AI is one of the most logical rebarrels for a 71. The other being the 450 Alaskan. Safariman, how many loads are you typically getting out of your AI'd cases? And do you anneal them?

re:safariman
back in the early to mid 60's they had pictures in one of the gun magazines of one of the 45/348's-I dont know how much powder the old boy stoked it with, but it froze the action and discharged all the cartridges in the tube!!!!-just remember the old tube fed under heavy recoil are prone to exciting events!!-dont remember if the shooter was hurt or not, but the rifle was a s---wreck.
people do funny things-I picked up some brass at a shooting range one time, some idiot had shot some 303 Savages in a 303 British-he didn't do this once there was about a box of those 303 Savage's laying there-they looked kinda funny laying there case formed with no neck!!!I guess with some people, if it fits in the chamber.....go ahead and pull the trigger!
