Here is a couple pics of some more ammo:

All of this is 200 grain silvertip, except the neat old tattered Grizzly Box which is 250 grain. IIRC, I think I also have 20 loose 200 grain Winchester Superspeed, but they are not silvertip. All came from the same box and are clean ammo, just that that box got destroyed. If anyone is interested in them, let me know. I would be but have so much silvertip, that is what I have decided to stick with.

Nice to see there are a few loyal 71 guys here, got a couple of the Browning carbines myself.

Thanks for the pics guys , nice stuff. Cool butt cover 338, nice way to sling without damage. There is a cool leather worker on the marlin forums, levergun leather ? He does beautiful work.Anyone else notice the bear track ?

Lever did the work, he's a true artist and a great guy.

Very nice. With my known 'interests' in Moose, that I like. It took me a while but I did find a set of original sling swivels for my Winchester. $100.oo. What was your leather work worth?

Good deal on the swivels, must of been a tough find. I don't recall what the price of the leather work was but guessing it was in the 250-300 dollar mark.

Thanks for the info. If I get my Moose draw this year, a little south-east of you, the Wells area, I may bring my Winchester along for the experience

Good luck on the moose draw, I packed my 348 last fall and it was like stepping back in history. Although handicapped compared to todays modern high velocity ultra long range cartridges, I really enjoyed it and think I'll pack it this bear season as well.
I'd rather carry my 71 Deluxe 348 moose hunting than any high powered modern rifle, anyday. Nothing against the modern rifles, but for me I just don't find they compare to the old guns. Such a great feeling to carry one of these old guns and they were so well made. Just have to put one in front of me now for a shot.
BTW, you can often find original sling swivels on Fleabay.

I posted pictures of mine on post #2. I was foolish enough to sell the first one I had but lucky enough to pick up this second one. This one I keep.

Not many floating around, however, I 'may' have a lead on another standard grade in condition about 95% - 98%. I'll post a 'yea or nay' after the gun show in Duncan tomorrow.

Nothing at the show but the guy I got mine from was there and both he and one other said they'd keep their eyes open for one and give me a shout.

Good to hear
. Yours pre dates mine by a bit. The serial # of mine is 37###, made about 1953.Thought I would share what I was I lucky enough to have found. It is in the mail and on its way as we speak. Far better shape than the other I have, and the Grizz is in a different "pose" shall we say.
