I agree. I'm hunting with the close relative 7-30 Waters in a 14" Contender. Drops 'em plenty fast enough for me. Low recoil. Rimmed cartidge. Dirt cheap 30-30 brass. Long case life. Great accuracy. What more could you ask for?
I need a 7/30 Waters somethin terrible. I've already got dies, brass and bullets. Now I just need a gun to shoot em out of.
