I've been looking at the 348 Winchester round but don't know anybody that has any experience with one.I love lever actions and the model 71 definitely caught my eye.Does anybody here have any experience with it?

Ammo and brass can be difficult to find at times but as Mike said, it is a heck of a mid range rifle.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Very capable with deer, all colors of bear, and moose.

Elk season is still on here and might drag it out in honor of Savell.  You should. I would, if I could. The Model 71 shoots very nice. I am not familiar with any other rifle offered in the chambering. Going down the internet rabbit hole to look now…..

I’ve shot plenty of deer with mine, as did grandpa up here. He was a transplant from the UP so I figure he chose the rifle with sound reasoning. He wasn’t a bear hunter and did shoot a few moose with it. But, moose die by the 22-250 and 243 easily… .243 is my absolute favorite. If I could only choose one cartridge for everything, that would be it.

It is funny that I have heard that from many AK guys and yet it is far from my favorite deer caliber let alone moose and caribou.

Guys here like to actually hunt, not shoot 1000 yards off the back of a SXS. So at 150 yards and less a .243 will do the job every time without ruining hides or meat. I even use .223 a lot, I'm shooting for the head so they always fold right up Well said...
