Ive wanted a 71 for awhile. Got my eye on one at the moment, trying to procure funds lol. I wanted a do all levergun to handle deer to elk to hogs to black bear. Something I can sight in 2-3" high at 100 and be good to 200 pretty easy. From my reading it sounds like a 348 should handle that nicely. Ive got 100 pieces of new Winchester brass so I figure im ahead of the game. Im just trying to enjoy these older iron sight guns like sharps and leverguns until my eyes wont let me anymore. I have a marlin guide gun that shoots great, but it just doesn't have that warm and fuzzy feeling sitting in the deerstand like my sharps or old win 94 does. I don't bowhunt, so hunting the old way with old style guns is my challenge. When I connect it makes it all the more sweeter
