So you would be a one rifle hunter?
No... not at all... I could be a one cartridge hunter if I wanted to... but have several rifles to fire that cartridge that are best suited for the type of hunting I am doing....
So you would be a one rifle hunter?
You can be nutz about one gun or you can be nutz about a hundred guns.... what would make one a hypocrite would be to poke fun at or cut down people who like "superuberlatestandgreatestmagnums" then go out and buy the "Superbuberlatestandgreatest" bullets in a vain attempt to try and keep pace with a 30-30......

Ok...I think I get it now![]()
Well... I'll put my opinion this way...
and .30-30's are caveman tools....lol... go figure

Remember this lovely statement
Now go back to the other thread where you would like to go varminting in Eastern Ont with an 06 & FMJ bullets![]()
Well... I'll put my opinion this way...
-Cavemen invented fire, they used rocks and twigs.....
-Eventually, the flint was invented
-Then was flint and solvents were coupled
-Then came the zippo Lighter
-The match was then invented
-The bic lighter was invented after that
-Now we have flameless lighters
To me, The 30-30 is like the match... not as efficient as the bic lighter but sometimes it's still really nice to use matches to light your cigar or the woodstove.... and they still do the job...
I like my more modern calibers (not a wsm guy etc.... but .30-06, .270.... better out to a distance, can mount a scope easily and a bit more knockdown and flatter shooting... I also liek bolt actions as they are more reliable... I am a bic lighter guy...
Then there are the flameless lighter types who think I am a relic and .30-30's are caveman tools....lol... go figure
I'll add that while it might not be the best for deer, the 3030 makes a great bear defense round....![]()

quite simply,..the 30-30 has laways had and always will have (bar some crazy evolution) the jice to take many many gane species quite effectively. It will continue to accomplish this with mild recoil and in proven actions that allow for a nice follow up should the need present itself.
A wonderful cartridge, ....
Geez,i can't believe the lack of respect and homage for the .30-30.If you can't reliably take game under the conditions this round is suited for or within it's effective range,that says more about the hunter than the hunted IMO.

30-30 sucks, I saw people try and shoot deer with it ............ the bullet bounced off. Get a .300 win mag or a .50 cal for the big ones,
