i have and have had a bunch of 14's and 141's in all the calibers in rifle and carbine. they are my favorite gun. the carbines are especially nice. the 30 rem is ballistic equivalent to the 30/30. same loads work in both. the difference is the 30 rem is rimless. you can readily get brass and the lee handloader works fine for these. you can also neck the 30 rem down to 25 rem and up to 32 rem. the 35 rem is a different animal. i hunt with one or more every year.
value varies depending on condition from about $250 for a rough one to over $2000 for a rare variation. the standard rifle 30 rem in decent shape would be $4-500 these days. i started buying them years ago when they were $250 at every gun show.
tell me about that "you can readily get brass" i haven't found it.
a guy at the gunshow i went to last month had a couple bags of 100 new brass and several boxes of the last generation remington factory loads from the 90's. i think the brass was $135/100 and the ammo was $45/box. i have hundreds of factory loads and lots of brass so i passed on it. now that said, this is in PA, the home turf of the remington pumps. Reeds ammo sells brass and custom ammo too. if you look around, you can find it.
