RE: Lever action rifle and ammo for big game
For closer range, out to 150 yards the Marlin 45-70 would do the job on all species. Browning make its lever in several calibers that would work well. 270, 30-06. 358Win, 7mm Mag and 300 Mag. I don't know if they chamber the short Mags or not. Someone here who knows more about the Browning Levers should know. You can also check thier webb site. Good Hunting.
