Hey people-the title of the post said "ALL PURPOSE LEVERGUN"-that means something that is accurateand powerful enough at any reasonable range s the ONLY lever rifle that will qualify. In MY book,that means a bLr,88,or 99. Conventional lever guns DO NOT qualify as all purpose.
2. most of my hunting situations involve game at 75 yards or less, so I've ruled out a variety of other cartridges.
Hey, Senor OSO Grande... Did you miss this? he kinda says he ain't looking for a long-range rifle. If he was, I'd agree with your recommendations..... and I'd add a BLR in .358 Win. Contrary to popular opinion, the .358 Win. is NOT just a short-range, woods cartridge.
