I'm itching to get a lever gun, pretty much as a range toy since I don't think hunting is going to rise to the top of my "to do" list any time soon. I haven't shot a lever gun in years, but had a Marlin 39A as a kid, which unfortunately I let my dad sell about 10 years ago.
I was focused on the idea of a Rossi 92, since I already reload .357 and .44, but looking on Armslist, there are so many .30-30s available (some with usable scopes for essentially no extra money) that I'm reconsidering.
Overlooking the cost of getting new dies and reloading supplies, anyone want to make a case for one of these calibers over another? The ranges I usually visit only go to 100 yards, so longer shooting is probably not going to be a frequent thing.
