Exactly.
The real good thing about the 30-30 is the nice handy lever action carbines chambered for it.
The 30-06 in a good bolt action is one of the all time great cartridges. It can, depending on the individual rifle, be very accurate and is effective to at least 600 yards. It will kill at far greater range than that.
I learned to shoot with a bolt action 30/06. that was the cartridge I learned to reload on too. It’s a great round easily capable of sub MOA accuracy and very capable of making 1,000 meter shots in a quality rifle. there is an abundance of ammo available for it too. Plus, you can get an inexpensive device that fits in your chamber that will allow you to shoot .308 out of a 30/06 so it’s versatile. On top of that, the 30/06 uses the same projectiles as the .308 so, in a pinch, you could pull your 30/06 projectiles and reload them into a .308 cartridge for your battle rifle if the need to do so ever arose..
