I truly think it makes a lot of difference depending on the terrain, vegetation etc.
In the bush a 30/30 lever still works as well as it ever did. The shelves of local stores have as many boxes of 30/30 as they do 308 and more than 7-08 or 260 which can be hard to find.
Among local long time bush hunters you will find as many 300 savage shooters as 30/30. The 270 and 30-06 are found among road hunters or slash hunters.
