The last 30-30 bought into my immediate family? I think I was 10 or so. My dad bought a 'pre-64' Win 94 and a Sthil chainsaw from his father in law (my mother's dad) for 80 bucks total.

Rifle is 98% and the chain saw ran until about 7 years ago. He got his money's worth. Never hunted with that 94 but still occasionally hunt with a Sav M1899 in 30-30 for a giggles.

There really isn't anything I'd shoot with a 308 that I wouldn't with a 30-30, particularly with today's bullet offerings.
