Any elk cartridges in lever action?

Question

I'd like a lever action gun to hunt elk with, but I need a cartridge that can go out to 300 yards and still bring it down. any suggestions?

Answer 1

make mine a Browning BLR They are available in several Elk calibers, like 270, 30/06, The browning is a cam lever action and is almost as strong as a bolt.  If you want to go to 300 yards, this is the best combo. The big Marlins like 45/70, 450 Marlin, 444 would be good to about 175.  

Answer 2

get a marlin. they have a 30-30 and a 308 and bigger. However, if you want it to go out to 300 yards you will need the LEVERevolution rounds from Hornady. Normal lever actions have snub nose rounds to they will go in a tube mag with out any risk of them going off, but the leaverevolution rounds have ballistic tips so it adds a lot of accuracy and distance to the rounds.  

Answer 3

308 Marlin

Answer 4

.308 ME, .444 Marlin, and .450 Marlin.

Answer 5

Some companies used to make a lever action 270, I cant remember who it was though. I would check out Marlin, they have a wide variety of lever action cartridges, and then check out the Hornady lever action ammo out there. Its hotter and made so that you can shoot more powerful ammo in a tubemagazine. If im not mistaken Browning made a lever action in 308. I wouldnt hold me to that though.

Henry Repeating Arms makes a bunch

even a 45-70 Government

Answer 9

The Browning lever action comes in 30/06 and .270 among others.  Its a great rifle.

Answer 10

Correct me if Im wrong but I believe Browning's BLR was chambered in .300 win mag and .338 win mag. Both would be a great sleeping pill for elk.
