The 30/30 is perfectly suited to hunting whitetail size game out to 150 yards. Sighted in at 100 yards, the 170gr. bullet will drop less than 3.5" at 150. Sight the gun in 1" high at 100 yards and you can aim dead on at any range from point blank to 150 yards without worry about drop. Remaining KE at the 150 yard mark are still at approx. 1000 ft.-lb. Plenty for taking whitetail sized game.

I can sneak up on them with a shovel too. To each his own, but this to me is like recommending a Pacer as a first car.

You could drive it, but why would you???
