I enjoy these topics. Most of us get to ‘think about’ our rifles more than we get to actually shoot them, and that’s quite alright.
When a second No.1A in 30/30 became available I bought it, too. A blue/walnut and same in stainless found a home here. I’ve enjoyed deer hunting with quite a few different cartridges. The 30/30s have done very well on medium size whitetail. It’s a natural for any single shot rifle - I enjoyed having a couple in Handi Rifles as well.
I don’t talk people into trying skydiving. I figure if they want to try it, they will. Same with rifle/cartridge combos, if you ask me I’ll tell you what I like and let you decide for yourself. BTW, I have a No.1 in 45/70 as well. How could anybody not want one!?
If only one? The 30/30 would probably be more fun and useful if you like to shoot a lot. Glad I didn’t have to choose! 😊
