I have 4 .30-30 rifles currently, '68/336 RC, Savage 340, TC 23" carbine and the latest an Uberti 1871 rolling block.
For the hills of East Ky. or the East Tx. Piney woods I love the thutty-thutty or .357/.44 mag carbines.
Since the first shot till now I've never had a bullet fail or needed more than one shot on deer or hogs. I've taken deer from 15' to 200 yds. with that old Marlin.
If I can limit myself to 35 yds. with a long bow or 50 with a compound why can't I hunt within the limit of a cartridge.
Oh! Oh! me too Dan...... my latest .30-30........................
