The amazing thing is you can get new plastic stocked bolt actions for about the same price as 3030 levers 40 years ago.
Also 4x was the standard scope and now its 3x9, but the old woods hunters taught me to go with less power. Many young hunters go hi power scopes and don't understand when you tell them our soldiers use low power scopes for close sighting. It really doesnt change their mind because most sit in stands now and rarely do deer drives.
