I'll put two of my stash up on this thread.  The first is a savage model 1899 in .250-.3000 and the 2nd is a Winchester model 71 in .348.

  Guess I need to show something that was taken with a levergun.  Here's a meat buck that met the .348.  Not much question where he took the hit.  No tracking necessary.

I would love to find a clean Savage 99 in .284 Winchester. :tup:

Both rifles are way cool Goldeneye. My dad had a .348 when he was young.

My dad had one too.  That's the reason when I found this one some years ago I had to have it.  I took down a buck with it a few years back.  That .348 slug flat hammered him.  I call that my connection to my father back in the day.  When I told him about it he was about bawlin'.  All good!

I may have to do the same thing since my dad passed this last February. This year I was going to carry a 7x57 he gave me years ago that he got as a Christmas gift from his father in 57 when he lived in Ellensberg.

Goldeneye, I had a Model 99 in .250 Savage and a Model 71 in .348.  I loved them both.  I found a horse I had to have so both guns went on the block to sell so I could afford him.  Thankfully he's a great horse.  I kept my Model 94 in .356 Winchester though.  It still hasn't been initiated with a kill, maybe this year.

  It would be tough for me to give those guns up.  Must be a special horse.  Your model 94 in .356 sounds interesting.  I may have to do some research and maybe try to find one.  Hope you get one with it!
