I have had a 30-30 since 1966. I’m on my 3rd one. best dense forest hunting rifle
Absolutely great gun.
It is not long range, but it loves gas checked lead bullet and it cheap to shoot if you reload.
With more modern bullets like the Hornacy FTX, it will perform much better out to 200 yards.

(I also have some Hornady FTX bullets (now discontinued) for my Model 71 .348 Winchester rifle.)
