The 30-30 vs. .357 was VERY instructive for me. Thanks to everybody who contributed to that thread. I learned a lot from it.
Now I have another question that sort of requires a painful amount of honesty: If your 30-30 lever action could shoot 308Win, would you switch? The Browning BLR does, and comes with a 5 round magazine in lever action.
SO, with the price of 308Win Surplus so inexpensive (like 10 to 20 cents a round (military 308Win surplus) vs. 50 to 60 cents a round for 30-30...since there is no military surplus in 30-30), and so powerful and flat-shooting, would any of you 30-30 lever guys (and gals) switch if you could? Or is the 30-30 that perfect all-around lever caliber anyways, expensive though it is?
I'm looking for that "one perfect rifle" that I now doesn't exist, but I want to get close...
I'm really looking forward to all your thoughts.
