The 30-30 club, are you in?

I have an Old ratty Winchester 94 in that venerable 30-30.

Took me 8 gun auctions to finally get one at $200. (Probably 40-50 passed me by, but not for a lack of bidding. My limit was $200 and I finally got one at that price.) Very nice :)
 
Pre '64 model 94. How many guys still hunt with a 30-30? After years of being a scoped bolt rifle snob I carried my old iron sighted '94 on a recent sheep hunt. I fell in love! It is an absolute pleasure to carry and pack in the mountains, and will shoot 1.5 - 2 inch groups at 100 yds with the iron sights. Before I commited to taking it on the hunt I shot at 2 and 300 yards. (5" group at 300). So.... first success with this gun for me was a 13 year old 43" dall ram! (though one shot at 40 yards wasn't much of a test for the gun......)
 
Yep - have 2 Model 94's - one has been bounced around as the "safety gun" - I had to tear it apart and repair the action - a screw had come loose and bent - was preventing the action from moving. The other is in pristine condition and will be saved for my daughter (who is now 2).

Great Rifle!
 
I've got a Win M94 and Mossberg 464 in 30-30. Im thinking of adding an M94 in 32 special in the near future. Although I must admit, I use my 20's vintage Savage 99 in 300 savage to hunt with the most.

A used Win. 94 your looking at around $300 and up. Sometimes the odd one under $300 will appear on the EE. It also depends on whether its a pre or post '64, a commemerative fired or un-fired or model ie; Trapper, Big Bore etc...

Marlins seem to be selling for about the same ($300 & up).
Just check & compare on the EE ;)
I bought my Marlin 336 for under $400 bucks with great service to add!!
New Marlin 336's are $570+. I was in Walmart in Hattiesburg Mississippi recently and priced a brand new one for $369.95 :eek:

How many of us, either have owned, or do own a 30-30 chambered rifle, or handgun.
Doesn't matter what make, or model.


Me, obviously :D

indeed I do. have had many 30-30 rifles, have 2 keeper pre '64 94's at the moment. just sold an H&R 157 full wood stock b/b in 30-30, I miss it already! even had a Savage 340 in 30-30.
 
If I keep having trouble getting my Swede sporter running for this season my 30/30 Win is going to be the rifle I use this season.
