gnoahhh: I'm not a novice or young(no offense taken)either. I'm 61yr. and been shooting & hunting since a child.
My question is posed based upon RETROSPECT from my perspective. I can't think of ONE ocassion IN MY EXPERIENCE where a 30-30 would have been preferred to 308,243,270,06,etc.
From my hunting experience a LEVER 308 would have done everything BETTER than a 30-30. Just IME.
REMEMBER from my experiences: I have seen & heard of a few HERE where the 30-30 is QUITE appropriate. In this discussion some may see another caliber to be better suited. OTHERS may see that a 30-30 is just what they need.
THANKS to EVERYONE who has offered useful info. There's been too much material OFF SUBJECT and UNREQUESTED but it seems that happens on nearly every subject.
Any or All pertinent info & discussion is INVITED.
