Welcome to the campfire.
You are in good company.
There are more than a couple of us who have enjoyed the .348 Winchester.

Welcome from another Maineiac. I've got a Winchester 71, but have only used it for moose. They are a beautiful rifle, just too big for me to hump around the woods. :D

Howdy and welcome.

I've never had a Winchester 71, but they are about the classiest looking leverguns ever made.

Welcome, and look forward hearing & seeing anything Mod 71 or 348W, would love have one, but in all honesty it would never fulfill my purposes like a Mod 64-94, but still IMO, the most interesting and classic rifle-cartridge story in American gunmaking history!

Well, you've chosen the right name ... that's for sure. Welcome.

Another Mainer saying welcome! I'm just west of MDI.The 348 and 71 are a marvelous combination. I'm down to one Browning carbine but its not going anywhere.
