These two are comparable in price and probably in performance. Looks like the M1 is about 1-1/2 lb. lighter. Suggestions?

Any 30 caliber, 30-30, .308, 30.06 is fine for whitetail...buy two and stock up on the relatively easy to find ammo.

I didn’t check real carefully to be sure all the numbers I gave are EXACTLY perfectly accurate. I may be a teensy tiny bit off on one or two. But you get the idea.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I don't have a muzzle break, but the gas port fitting seems like an interesting place to go.
I've competed in High Power rifle for years and reloaded for even longer. This Ruger is definitely the worst shooting rifle I've ever owned, and that's a lot of rifles.

I do, in fact, get the idea. You have not offered a specific source for any of your comments.
For your benefit I include a link to the Wikipedia article on calibers. It is on the Internet, so it must be true.

Please understand i'm in west TX, not many shots inside 100 yrds. I have a Marlin in 35 Remington that makes a great hog gun as well as the 30-30. Forgot this thread. Mirror image of where I'm usually usually hunt, generally under 100. A couple of nice bucks.

Many thanks. When I cleaned the cosomoline off my Enfield I cheated and just dropped all the metal parts into a shallow pan made from a plastic bag wrapped around a cardboard box and filled with gasoline.
As long as no one plays with matches it works like a champ.

I already gave you three sources not counting wikipedia. I’m pretty sure you will find that Hornady sells .312” dia bullets for use in the 303 british and other foreign 30 caliber rifles, while speer sells .311” dia bullets for the same rifles. I don’t have my hornady and speer books at home so I can’t give you page numbers and publish dates.

Next time try Simple Green. It eats through Cosmoline and isn't flammable.
