Lever actions are/can be fun. I do not hold the 30-30 in high regard. Many years ago I was pig hunting on the Hunter Ligette base in Kalifornia. We spotted a very large boar for the time - around 600 pounds. The guy I was with saw his first so it was his kill. He shot it three times with a 30-30 and the dust just puffed up off the animal. I finished with one shot from my 7x57 clean through the boiler room. When we cleaned the hog all three 30-30 bullets were stuck in the cartilage over the ribs. Never penetrated.
