A few years ago my brother expressed an interest in getting one of the 30TK's and asked my opinion. I told him I had shot them before and in my opinion they balanced poorly for offhand shooting and swung poorly for shots at running game because they were too muzzle light. The full length magazine tube models are superior for those uses because they add weight toward the muzzle, especially when the magazine is full. I haven't changed that opinion and would pick a model with full length tube every time for that reason. I suspect one of the 24" barrel half magazine models would be better in that regard as the additional barrel length should add enough weight forward to compensate for the short magzine.
