that test should have been against a Browning BLR ,I have a deluxe 348 win. ,Marlin guide gun and some BLR`S too all are nice rifles , my choice after shooting all these rifles the 348 and 45-70 are not as accurate as a BLR ,the 71 or the guide gun are no faster than a BLR Browning all are lever rifles ,with the larger cartridges in the BLR like a 300 win.mag. is really more powerful than the other two and the other two 348 and 45-70 are short range cartridges compared too a 300 win.mag. as far as weight goes if you have trouble hunting with a little heavier rifle just how do you handle hunting in the wild country ?
