Best lever action calibers for big game

[boneaddict]

added another one.  How about the .300 Savage.

thats a fine choice.  im still for the 4570. like i said, anything the 30-30 can do, the 45-70 can do better.

Love the 45-70.  Also a big fan of the .444, .348, and the .44mag.

Thanks bone, for adding calibers to the list. Always expanding the knowledge of your fellow hunters

I voted for the .300 savage, it was the first gun ever given to me and I killed my share of animals with it. (nothing bigger then an elk) It was the only size gun my grandfather ever shot and he hunted in AK for 30+ years, he always told me it's the shot placement not the size of the gun. I have a .300 savage and a .308 model 99, there great little guns.

love my savage99 in 300. just cant figure out what model it is?

what about the 30/40 krag? the model 1895 winchester in this grand old caliber was one of elmer kieth's favorite elk combo's my greatgandpa, granddad and dad all hunted with one JB
