I can't decide! I really love the basic, straight forward usefulness of the lever gun; not to mention the price. I also love the semi auto action of the Saiga. The lever gun is slower shooting, but is more accurate and handier. There's a mall ninja inside of me saying I need to convert a Saiga. They're not THAT cheap anymore.....but are such an amazing anti-zombie rifle
In the end the .30-.30 has the capacity for way more push than the 7.62x39. I cant stand when people compare the two cartridges and try to say they have = effectiveness. For humans, MAYBE, but not game like black bears. I have yet to see heavy bullets (175 gr.) loaded into 7.62x39 cases....maybe it's possible.
I sold my rifles years ago, as I've become a handgun "mostly" guy. I want one decent rifle for whitetails and black bear + general all round rifle use. What should I get? Funds are a bit tight since I recently picked up a new 4" stainless GP100
