Thanks to all of you.
One gentleman mentioned he thought there was a niche for a 30/30 in a bolt action. Has anyone other than Rem. in the 788 ever chambered one in a bolt gun? I would see a greater chance of one being chambered in a pump, but given today's climate for gun manufacturers I doubt it happening...but what do I know.
Given my duty to be a patriotic American, I do see the need to get one. I will try to take care of that sooner rather than later.
The .30-30 came in the Winchester model 54, Savage 340, and Stevens 325. There was also a Springfield labeled Savage but I forget the model.
Plus the Savage Models 40 & 45 Super Sporters from 1928 to 1942.
I think that the Springfield version of the Savage 340 was the 840. Over the years, the Savage 340 series of economy grade bolt action rifles has been sold under multiple brand names, Savage, Stevens, and Springfield, plus the various house-brands, and as multiple model numbers.
