Rifle's Handloader magazine has a nice article on the .348 Winchester in a Model 71 Winchester rifle. Thought Cheyenne and some of you other folks would enjoy seeing this one.

The detraction is the tubular magazine requiring flat nose bullets and cannot easily mount a scope. The BLR is shorter, lighter and quicker handling, has a detachable magazine so spitzers can be used, and is easy to mount a scope on.while it great handling, it is not as strong or smooth of action. The 358 is easier to find ammo for, as Hornady has stepped up in Winchester's absence. The 348 is getting harder to come by, and thus much pricier. At a gunshow here on the weekend, they were asking $120/box for 348 ammo.
The 358 may have a slight edge in performance due to its ability to use spitzers, but most animals would never know the difference, especially when harvested at open sight ranges typically used by hunters hunting with these rifles.
I still have the BLR. Looking to replace the 71 one of these days.

, but your right to my knowledge she does not have a 35 Whelen, but if it would shut you up I would buy her one.
That and/or a knot on their head. Only thing they might understand!truck driver":1qsfhxl9 said:I regret not having read the original response by Cheyenne and wish she didn't feel the need to pacify some of the idiots here that harass here threw PMs and not on the open forum. A true Coward hiding behind a key board.
If I knew who they were I would buy them a box of Baby pacifiers and send them to them since they haven't been weaned yet.
Having only owned one lever gun a Marlin 336 in 30-30 Win I can't speak of the virtues of the M71 or the BLR but I have always wanted a nice M88 Win and maybe someday I will find one.
