I bought my first 30-30 a few years back, as a way to learn cast bullet shooting. It's a bolt-action Savage 340. Ugly as a Russian female shot-putter, but it sure is fun!
In truth, the 30-30 is all the deer gun that 90% of us would ever need. Well-kept records show that the very great majority of all deer taken across the whole country are shot inside 150 yards, with most at about half that. Deer are simply not that hard to kill, either.
The 30-30 is just enough for the game, not too much for any hunter and just right for the wallet. What's not to like?
