Thirty-Thirty was also a main character in "Bravestar" during the 80's.
He was a bad-ass cyber-horse with a plasma cannon.
Just sayin'...
A scope on that rifle is a waste of time and money.
Good point, but if the weapons have been confiscated you use what you manage to find.

I have a lever action 30 30 - I think it is pretty accurate to hundred yards or two
a 30 06 would be great when you want to reach out and touch someone from 5 or 6 hundred yards
best to have one of each
Be careful of tragic boating accidents

A .30 caliber rifle is not a brush gun. A .44 magnum is a brush gun. In its day the .30-30 was considered a "flat shooter".
You may be Superman, but mere mortals like me are much more accurate at 100 yards with a scope than with open sights. I have a 4X scope on a Marlin .30-30 and greatly appreciate its help.
Yes a brush gun and I really like mine.
Have a friend that shoots one loaded with the Hornady FTX Leverevolution bullets. That is a 160gr rubber tipped ballistic bullet that increases the accuracy and range a great deal. Will not make a 30-30 a 30-06, but will make it effective out to 250 or possibly 300 yards.
I bought some of those bullets for my model 71 .348 Winchester. It is the big big brother of the 30-30 much longer ranged but kicks like a mule. The old standard load was a Barnes 250 grain bullet, the Hornady FTX is a 200gr rubber tipped ballistic bullet.
Neither gun is shabby in the right hands. I use peep sights on both. No scope.
“A scope on that rifle is a waste of time and money.”
Not necessarily. That gun’s effective range stretches out to 150 yards, easy. 200 is not out of the realm of possibility
Can you see better with or without magnification at 150-200 yards, especially in the types of brushy conditions that you might be talking about? 3x magnification might be the difference between realizing you have a shot or you don’t.
I live in what is basically the .30-30 capital of the world, since it is mountainous here, without a lot of long distance sight-lines. Lots of people here have .30-30’s and lots of people have them scoped.
