The one's that are disrespecting the 30-30 are the very one's that have to have the latest and greatest super whiz bang magnum bolt action rifle and the furthest there shooting is one hundred yards!!!
Exactly!I don't think the 30-30 is a very good sniper round.
But, if I got shot in the head with one, I might change my mind.
The only reason I don't own a lever is because the levers hurt my fingers to cycle.
Fact is, the .30-30 has more range but properly loaded, the .44Mag will (and has!) take anything on planet earth.
A whole hell of a lot has changed since the 1970's. We ain't talking about factory 240gr jacketed bullets and water jugs. We're talking about heavyweight hardcast bullets that penetrate like a freight train and break large bones.In the mid 1970's...
So how many deer have you killed beyond 200-250yds?...after using a bolt action in a good round there is no going to a small lever gun with a round like a 30-30 IMO.
