[QUOTE="trout, post: 5530082, member: 20358"] You have gotten excellent advice from a very experienced group of sportsmen. Consider 350 legend is a relatively new straight walled cartridge. This has very low recoil and good ballistics. This caliber is also becoming more widely accepted in a single shot as a primitive weapon. While good optics are important, you should start on the lowest power to allow for the largest field of view and quicker target acquisition. Finally, I would not recommend an older lever action. I started with a lever action 30/30 nearly 50 years ago, racking a round leaves hammer back and ready to fire. You probably don’t want to be slow releasing the hammer to half cocked on a loaded gun. Wishing you the best of luck hunting in 2023! [/QUOTE]
