Model 94 in .348?

[Yodar]

Did any of you sharp-eyed Levergunners notice that something was not quite right on page 81 in the September, 2008 issue of The American Rifleman? In the article on the top ten hunting rifles, the Model 94 is listed as number two, Mr Mark A. Keefe IV lists the various calibers for which the Model 94 was chambered. He includes the .348 Winchester in the list. I am not an expert on Winchesters but I understand the only rifle chambered for the .348 WCF was the Model 71. Anybody out there know any different?

It was a mistake.

The .348 WCF rim won't even fit between the frame(bolt) rails of a 94 Winchester receiver, let alone the mag tube opening in the receiver or the loading gate. If you could somehow overcome all that, the cartridge length is too great to work in a 94 action.

Yep, I saw that and couldn't believe they made that silly mistake...

I saw that too. Those type of mistakes seem to be pretty common. They just missed it during the editing process. 1886.

I am beginning to believe that the proofreaders know nothing on the subject and so can't catch such things.

[Leverluver]

Same proof readers that read scripts for TV shows. Saw a CSI rerun last night where the suspect shot a Kodiak bear (illegally of course ) with a 357 in FLORIDA . (Ooops, not Florida, thinking of the wrong CSI. It was Nevada) Now if Sarah was the one doing the shooting, it would have been more believable

Actually - that is pretty consistent for all of CSI which is almost entirely BS.
