I have a friend who considers himself well armed with a .357 revolver, a 12 ga 870, and a 700 in .30-06. Sorry folks, but I was warped as a child during WWII. The family had a single shot Winchester .22 and a double barrel 12 ga. The 12 died and there were no parts or civilian replacements other than the used market, and few folks were selling. I "need" more than 2-3 guns.

Otherwise, my first deer fell to a 30-30 in 1960. Since then I have used over a dozen different cartridges for killing deer. They all killed them dead. My next deer is scheduled to fall to the .30-30, coming full circle.
