Yah. Fair point. My only real interest is a historical one, which is admittedly not a strong argument since I seem to have missed my chance to get the real thing in Winchester (new in the box anyway). The cartridge itself is not terribly useful. In fact... since I have a pretty heavy investment already in .357 I've considered getting one in that just to be able to carry one kind of ammo. There's a certain utility in that. But of course, a sacrifice in power.
But all of this is just thinkin.
Part of me wants an AR-15 too. Just for old times sake. :-)
had a friend that got one in .44... tuh match his Ruger .44... decent man killer out to 120 yds... dunno if'n I'd try a deer with it...
the extra velocity you get outta the .357 rifle is nothing to sneeze at... but it's still a pistol cartridge... good survival/getaway system tho...
I got a DPMS lower receiver... savin' up pennies tuh get an upper...

After a day of being surrounded by flowers and balloons for other folks, I guess I can identify.
Least I got some free chocolate, I guess.
Well, the federal rounds add quite a bit of range and accuracy to the venerable 30-30. Marlin makes a fine rifle, simple, reliable and accurate.
