Agreed, a scoped 30/30 would do the job 9 times out of 10. So would a beat up .303 with an old tasco 4x32...

I like a rifle that is reasonably short and light, suppressed, corrosion resistant, easy to strip down, barrel easily cleaned from the breech end, shoots MOA or better, a crisp 2lb factory trigger, has a floating barrel etc. A 94 in 30/30 doesn’t tick all these boxes. A BLR would be closer to the mark, but I guess I prefer bolt actions
