Every now and then, but not often, I encounter Model 30s
in .25 Rem that have been rechambered to .250-3000.
They are an attractive looking rifle, but a bit heavy.
Weight is the only issue with them. Everyting else is +++++. I had a 1917 in 30-06 years ago, when I was young and strong..
With the cocking change to cock on bolt opening, plus a good trigger, that action is one tough brute, and the safety is THE best design ever on a factory rifle. Someone back then had their head screwed on right with that safety design. For a right hand shooter, the safety is user friendly, and quiet. Too bad more current rifles don't have such a safety. I had a Dayton Traister trigger unit in mine.
