30-30 0r 44mag

44mag, 240gr bullet vs 170gr, the 240 wins everytime

Except here in reality where both result in dead deer.

I'd take the 3030. The advent of LeverEvoultion ammo has changed it considerably. it will extend the range far beyond the 44.

I have and will be using both. For tight bush the followup on my 44 ruger carbine semi will be faster that my bolt action savage 340. Both are sighted for 100 yards and I am learning the adjustments for shorter or longer ranges in increments of 25 yards. Where I hunt near Parry Sound, both are excellent choices.

My thoughts as well.
