My father-in-law has just given me an early Christmas present.... his Winchester model 94 in 30-30. It is a pre-64 version, and is in great shape... but what will I use it for? I have never owned or shot a lever gun before.
It has taken it's fair share of deer in New England a long time ago... but had been retired when he brought his family out to the West Coast of Canada in 1972....until now.
I don't think a gun like this should wear a scope... so what is a 30-30 capable of, what kind of range and accuracy can be expected with the irons, and what kind of game ?
Is this a good bear gun with heavier bullets? :wink:
