Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So what could ya hunt with a 30 cal. carbine?

After my late uncle got busted up in a sawmill accident, he hunted with a .30 carbine as that was easier for him to carry. I loaded his ammo with a decent bullet and he had no trouble taking deer at typical woods range.

I remember magazine ads from the late sixties or early seventies for the Teflon-coated/varied color ones that someone was offering. They featured a drawing of one of the hale and hearty outdoorsmen typical of the time pushing through pine boughs in pursuit of deer.

dont hunt with it much, but still for plinkin...
Iver Johnson stainless paratrooper.

It's as big a piece of schitt as the M16...and other 'bastard' throw-offs!

I always wanted one, $100 bucks was just way too much, so I had to go without.

hmmm...need to go shoot mine...

I well remember when the DCM was selling them for $10 each back in the early 60's. I didn't have ten bucks to spare back then.

Killed my first deer with a .30 carbine. DRT.

Paid $75 for it in 1979.

Feral Liberals.

just gonna say I can remember $40-$50 range

Jim, my dad had an m1 carbine that lived on the tractor. He killed quite a few deer with it on the farm. We had crop damage permits to shoot them in the summer. And he liked that because he had one issued to him in the service and bexause it was short, light and he disnt care if it got covered in cow schit

He's probably sittin' on his giant brass balls.

Had a neighbor whose farm I used to trap and hunt on. He had one he just loved. He kept it close at hand with a couple of magazines handy. Any time a coyote came within sight he would start rattling off rounds in the coyote's general direction. I don't recall him ever hitting one but he would always be laughing and making the comment that no matter how many rounds he fired the coyotes would always find another gear for every shot. He was a fun neighbor and a good friend. I think he was disappointed one day when I was there and dropped a coyote with one shot with my 6mm before he could get the carbine out. After that I just let him shoot any time a coyote showed up.

criterion barrel, try the civilian marksmanship program a.k.a. the c.m.p.

a 9mm pistol runs at about 1200fps, the carbine at 2000fps.

i've heard that too, and heard the answer. Skinny chinaman in a quilted bunny suit, bullet not hit mr chinnyman.

Moose or anything else in MT would be legal.

These were made for shooting around doors in WWII city fighting. A rare collector.

Inner city "youts" that play "The Knockout Game".
