He has a good point. If the 30-30 was great there would be a bunch of bolts in this caliber. Good low cost rifles and ammo made this popular.
Awesome point. lol. By your line of thinking the .357 mag, .44 mag, .35 Rem, and .45-70 Gov't were never great either because there isn't a plethora of bolt guns chambered for them. You do realize that there's more out there than just bolt guns right? Maybe you don't know it but there are a lot of us who can live without bolt actions just fine. I've known many who wouldn't be caught dead owning a deer rifle with a bolt. The Amish and mennonites for example almost never have bolt guns because they're trying to kill deer not punch sub moa groups.
