Quick Answer
The .350 Legend can be chambered in a lever-action rifle, but the specific model and magazine capacity will depend on the manufacturer's design and specifications.
Lever-Action Rifle Considerations
When considering a lever-action rifle in .350 Legend, look for models specifically designed for this cartridge. For example, the Marlin Model 1895 is a popular lever-action rifle that can be chambered in .350 Legend. This rifle features a tubular magazine and is designed to handle higher-pressure cartridges like the .350 Legend. The magazine capacity for the .350 Legend in the Marlin Model 1895 is typically 4 rounds, which is lower than some other lever-action rifles.
Lever-Action Rifle Reliability
To ensure reliable function with a lever-action rifle in .350 Legend, it’s essential to use the correct type of ammunition. Look for ammunition loaded with a bullet that’s suitable for the rifle’s action and barrel length. A heavier bullet (150-180 grains) will generally produce less recoil and be more manageable in a lever-action rifle. Additionally, use high-quality ammunition from reputable manufacturers to ensure consistent performance.
Lever-Action Rifle Hunting Performance
The .350 Legend is an excellent cartridge for deer hunting, offering flat trajectories and deep penetration. In a lever-action rifle, the .350 Legend can deliver effective shots at ranges up to 150-200 yards. To maximize hunting performance, choose a rifle with a barrel length of at least 20 inches and a scope with a magnification range of 2-7x. This will allow for accurate shots at longer ranges and provide a clear view of the target.
