Best lever action calibers for big game

[edmondshunter]

Got a buddy looking to buy a lever.  Ive only shot the 30-30, and 35-rem.  Told him I could poll the masses here.  So let hear it.  What cal. and why?

I voted for the .444......it just seems cool.

[Red Dawg]

you forgot the marlin 308 express. Not the best all time. YET!!!

[TONTO]

Big Game?....How Big?

Have him look into the browning blr's, you can get almost any caliber you want.

Added .308mx just 4 u Red Dawg.

Theres almost a dozen other calibers made in lever actions, tough to pick one. Ive always liked .308 winchester

[jdb]

thats so easy its the winchester model 71 .348 if you know about it you'll agree if you dont know about it you should learn JB

[Red Dawg]

i dont think it will let me change my vote. thanks bro.

[Bookworm]

I've always wanted to get one of the blr's. I don't really need one, just want one!

Red Dawg
I like the ballistics for the .308mx.  Just slipped my mind when I posted options, not sure why either, was just looking at the charts yesterday.

Stainless, green laminate stock, gun metal grey leupold  4X. Would be perfect. = KILLING MACHINE.

What about the .300 savage99?   i have one of those. Its just as good as a 30-30. Besides that i dont know I would have to do more shooting with it. But untill i get it fixed it might be some time....

 How about the BLR in 7mm-08. Had one of them a long time ago, still wish I had kept it.

I had a BLR in .243 for a while, cool gun but WAY to heavy!
