IIRC, somebody showed up to one of Jeff Cooper's classes with a 16" '94 in .30-30, to the vast amusement of the staff.
Guy said it was the only thing he was allowed to have Noo Yuk City. More amused laughter from the staff.
Guy proceeded to run the courses along side his AR-equipped fellow students, and damned if he didn't do pretty good by comparison.
Hmmmm, says Jeff Cooper. He buys some '94s and has his no-longer amused staff run the course with them. And damned if they didn't do pretty good themselves.
And so, says Jeff Cooper, in one of his oft-reprinted articles, he came to believe that a man with a '94 .30-30 was armed very well, indeed.
Always enjoy re-reading that from time to time.
