.25-35 or .30-30?

[Calif Hunter]

I was given a Savage 1899 takedown in .22 Highpower. It has been reblued, has a non-original buttplate, non-original open sights, etc. It really has no collector value. I am thinking about having it rebored to either .25-35 or .30-30. I already have two or three .30-30s, so the .25-35 seems more interesting to me. Has anyone had much expereince with the .25-35? It may be a good rifle for the small California blacktails.

I don't plan on scoping the rifle, but I have put a tang aperture sight on it.
