What 30-30 did you go for?

I was down 5 AR’s and a .22 Trombone.
Since bought a K98 8x57, M38 6.5x55, R8 6.5x47, R8 7mmRM, R8 223, Vudoo 22.

Possibly over compensated, but happy enough.

Under compensated I reckon, that’s only four rifles to replace six?

Marlin 336JM, had kinda fancied one before the shit storm anyway.... However, still haven't shot it life has been quite busy this last year to say the least.

My "AR replacements" are a Troy PAR, a Ruger Ranch 556 in case the Troy gets banned, and a Kriss DMK. I've bought 3 guns to give me the functionality of one.

only 9?

Aoraki Ammunition are bringing in straight-pull VZ58's in 7.62x39 Thinking about the possibility of one of those and a compact bolt action.

Nice man, high quality Marlin.

Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39, great little shooter.
