I have a 99 takedown In original finish (not new condition) with a bright shiny bore. I’ve killed deer and caribou with it, spruce grouse too, with the.410 barrel.
You can reload.303 with.30-30 data. I don’t see where there’s a whole lot of difference ballistically, other than.303 was originally loaded with 190 grain bullet (at proportionally less speed than .30-30 170 grain.)
In any event, it’s one of my favorites.
