I have 2 older slimmer H&R 30-30 topper barrels mated to a modern NEF receivers that have killed many whitetails.
One has the Cabelas LeverAction 30-30 scope that shoots LE ammo and the other that shoots 170 grain Sierra FN's
Both are more accurate than a cheap rifle ought to be. Hunted in Wi.-Mn.-Mi. back in the day. Now just Wi. and out west


Take your kids and your grand kids huntin' and shootin'.
