Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Old Timers

My .30-30 is still a virgin in my hands. Bought it used and have no idea what its history is.

Moved to Colorado in late 1980 expressly to make it easier to hunt elk. Went on my first elk hunt in '82 with a long-time elk hunter and his group. No one in that group was a very good hunter, but it was a start. Most in the group used and recommended a 7mm RM so that is what I purchased for my first center-fire rifle. That 7mm RM was my only big game rifle for over 20 years and has killed more elk than all my other rifles put together, No complaint, but using others is fun. So I do.
