Why Is the 30-30 Still With Us?

Because we can.

The 30-30 is one of the few round-nosed cartridges powerful enough to hunt North American game. Lever-action rifles need round nose (or special ammo like Hornady LEVERevolution) to minimize the risk of tube magazine ammo setting off the primer of the round in front of it.

The lever-action rifle is still around, because they work, because of cowboy-action shooting, and because they're kinder to lefties than bolt-action rifles.

If one ever happens to run into a Remington model 788 in .30-30, from 1971 or whenever, buy it or steal it. (j/k) :)

It's a collector's item.

I turned my Marlin 336 into a cowboy assault rifle, and it shoots .30-.30.

And there’s no evidence to back that claim up, in fact most evidence when looked at points the other way. The 30-40 Craig came soon after the 30-30 and not long after that came the 30-06 in an 03 Springfield action and a 1895 action. The 30-06 most likely holds the killed more deer title, then again there’s no way to prove that either.

Nostalgic and supplies 375 Winchester brass of a somewhat lesser quality.
And what does the 30 30 represent?

The next item I’m adding to my arsenal is an over/under 20 gauge shotgun. I used to use my BIL’s when we shot skeet and I LOVED IT! Hardly any kick, but of course, we were just using buckshot/scattershot. ;)

But man, that gun was sweet!

The state of Utah uses 30-30 for criminal executions. Four state troopers aim at a sticky note where the heart is,...was.

Years ago I bought a Marlin 336 with a cheapo scope on it from a guy walking around at the gun show. I didn’t sell it at that show so I got a box of ammo and took it to the range.

Slightly sub 1” group off the bench at 100 yards. Wow! What would it have done with a decent scope? I still kick myself for selling it.

I have began hunting with my grandfathers 336 in .35 Remington.

I love mine. Got some sort of a thing for it. Can’t go out, and shoot anymore due the multiple demons running loose inside my body ‘H’ bent on killing me, but I don’t believe I could even be without it. Next time I have the energy worked up I’ll have to put in a Prayer Request. Prayers work. I’m on many lists thanks to many friends.

Because in the real world, it’s almost perfect for defense and hunting.

I have a Marlin 30-30 lever action. I ejects from the side instead of the top like the Winchester. My wife gave it to me for a birthday almost 50 years ago.

It’s just fun to shoot.
Powerful enough without the pain.
