inland44: I'm glad too. My question, even tho not specifically worded, was/is WHY WOULD you choose the 30-30 INSTEAD of 308.
SOME have given a few good reasons they choose the 30-30 and I understand their point. I guess where I have been hunting for many years I encounter more open territory, either hunting or going to or from and I feel more PREPARED with a flatter shooting cartridge.
I'm NOT a 308 lover, JUST FLATTER TRAJECTORIES. I mentioned the 7-08,243,etc. in OP because they are/have been available in lever actions.
I have owned Savage 99s, & BLRs but currently don't own or hunt with ANY lever action. Win. 9422M exception NOT for deer. For my money the BLR 20" bll. is just as HANDY as the 336 or 94.
I'm surprised that the majority have spoken up for the 30-30 and ONLY a few even mentioned the advantage of 308,etc.
I SINCERELY thank ALL OF YOU for your serious responses.
