Thread: anyone hunted with a 30 30

I've shot plenty of deer and pigs with my old 30/30, but its such a compromised weapon when compared to say a .308 bolt action with a 2-7x33 scope.

Both weigh about the same, the bolt action is possibly lighter than the clunky ol lever gun. And with out a scope its hard to check out what that brown dot on that far away slip is, let alone even dream of hitting it.

I don't see any advantage in llimiting yourself to 100m when most centrefires will point and shoot right out to 300m with a 3'' high zero at 100m and a cheap scope attached.
