.30-06 has longer range than a .30-30, and a little more wallop.
I have one of each - my old Winchester is fun to shoot and easy to carry.
My Garand, on the other hand, is a bit of a bear to lug around and leaves my shoulder a bit sore (I'm an old guy).
But an M1 Garand does get looks at the range, (oh dude, that's a MAN'S rifle).
They say the Grand weighs 9.7 pounds, and the decimal point disappears after a ten mile march.
