Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General .30-30 for elk

Hello from SW Montana,

I have been hunting elk & deer here since I was 12 (1968) except for a short time that I lived in Alaska. I have shot all of my elk or deer with a 30-30 or a 303 savage. I have many other rifles including flat shooting magnums but it get much more enjoyment out of the older lever actions. The 30-30 or 303 will do fine on elk if you practice so you are sure of shot placement and don't try to extend their range.
