I always felt that the .358 was designed to replace the .348 Winchester in the Model 71 by offering it in the Model 88 lever action and the Model 100 semi-automatic. Unfortunately, neither of these interesting rifles caught on. I say interesting because both combine the strength of a turn bolt action with the benefits of a well designed one piece stock. Superior instinctive shooting rifles, and a pleasure to shoot, unlike their Remington self loading and pump counterparts.
