Speaking for myself honestly, regardless of market value? If I didn't already have one in 30-30, Lord Yes, I would buy it! I have some dandy deer rifles, hunting quality, bolt actions, levers. Auto, and my Mod 64 30-30 is by far my favorite hunting rifle, here in big mountains, no agriculture, it's to me the ultimate deer rifle. Have a Williams on it. I would prefer it in 30-30, but if I was buying it, I'd gladly take the 32Spl! Killed my deer in Nov with it, 50yds bang flop neck shot!
