A rifle that shoots pistol cartridges or a rifle that is famous for being inaccurate.

Can’t you find a nice Winchester lever action 30-30?

Though I agree with the latter the former is incorrect. The 30 Carbine is not a pistol cartridge. It was designed and works well as a CARBINE round (typically 150 yards or less from a small rifle).

As much as I like the 30 carbine I would not use it for hunting deer. Get a .270 or 308 or 30-06 to hunt with.

If you want a tacticle rifle to hunt with then you can use the .308. I am not a fan of the 7.63x39 for hunting.
