The 71 was an updated 1886 action but the 348 cartridge is a necked down 50-110 case. It failed in the marketplace because this rifle does not accept conventional scope mounts. So-called average gun buyer didn't want a heavy recoiling top ejecting elk rifle. Marlin filled this gap very nicely with ...

In the Eastern mountains where I hunt,150 yds max and with all of the ridges and hollows,the norm is probably 80 yds or less. On some of the ridges I can see Deer at 400 yds or more,but it would take me an hour to get within range to make a good clean shot.

86er,
An excellent and informative discussionon on the effect of temperature on
powder burn rates and their composition.
I think you should expand the information in an article with other powder data to be included as stickey for future reference.

Boreman

For me,that is a bit to much. I wish I had not read that. It puts a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. I love my 2 dogs and that thought is tough to think about

Boreman

Best wishes on your recovery. Heal quick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youse guys need to get rid of those tinker toy 348's and get the only real rifle, a 45-70. :) :mrgreen: :) :mrgreen: :lol: I would venture a guess that most M71 owners also have a "real rifle" :wink: I have three in that persuasion and would like more....many more. Come to think of it, I ...

Luckily, for me, I have 20 boxes of W-W 200 Silvertip ammo, about 200 of those bullets and the same number of 200 Hornadys. That, plus a few hundred new brass and 100 rds reloads, plus the original owner's dies came with my gun several years ago. No need for anything to do with the .348, except sho...

Thanks for sharing. A really great story of the American West about real people !!!!!!!

You could not convince me otherwise. I've been reloading since, umm... 1971.

I was trying to determine the number of bullets I have on hand,when I realized I really did not have any kind of inventory from which to figure out what I was short on. So I spent the better part of 3 evenings going through my bullet supply one box or counting one bullet at a time. I was in for a su...

I stopped a my favorite pawn shop on Tuesday afternoon to look around. The owner informed me that he had just bought a 61 gun collection from a fellow that he had dealt with for years. I looked over some of the guns out on display,nothing that really needed me. I ask him if he had any thing that I m...

What Mike said.
I have 2 Ruger SA and a Rossi M-92 in 44-40 that I have shot alot. I have not had any problems reloading them with jacketed or cast bullets. If you pay attention to the little details,I don't think you will encounter any problems.

Hey fellows,lighten up a little. We ALL love our orig. Wins. and our Brownchesters,I have 4 of them .After all we have talked about reviving the M-71,apparently someone listened,they are here. I for one am overjoyed that my beloved M-71 has been reborn. It might just attract a whole new following fo...

I bought an Ameristep Outhouse 2 years ago. One of the best hunting buy's I ever made. They are wonderful in bad weather. It's great to be able to stand up and stretch and not be seen.I use an adjustable shooting stick from a sitting position on a foldable chair that fits in the Outhouse bag. Makes ...

DOC,
I have a Browning A-Bolt in 338 Win that I love to shoot.It VERY accurate at MOA or less at 100 yds. I shoot 200 and 225 gr Hdys most of the time. How does the Win round compare to the Lapua?

Big Bear, I started this load with CCI LR primers. The combo shot Ok.I was looking for a way to close up the groups still using the 58.5 gr load.

SJP, Cograts on a beautiful rifle.You have just started a life long love affair with the M-71/348 combo. I don't think it gets any better than that for a lever gun.The more you shoot it ,the more you will come to respect what a worthy rifle/combo it is. :wink: My favorite load for my M-71's is: 200g...

I hear you fellows loud and clear. I took your collective advice.I went back to the pawn shop,in a toad drowning downpour, and I now have a little Marlin "Mountie" in the collection.Thankfully it was still there. This shop does a banner gun business this time of year. I would like to post ...

I could only find 2 Mountie's on GA.They were listed at $749 and $699 respectively.This rifle is a take down straight stocked model 39-A with figured wood in the ...

Big Bear, The problem with the lever drop could be with a worn friction stud or weak stud spring. If the rifle has been used alot,some times the stud channel gets dirty and gumed up and won't let the stud release fully. Could be a combination of all of the above. Very easily fixed. Check the front o...
