My 30-30 marlin 336 will group within an inch at 100 yards all day long. My brother-in-law in his years of hunting has taken numerous Mule deer, Elk, Black Bear, Couger,and Coyotes all with the winchester 94 in 30-30, this was in the wide open spaces of Utah. The 30-30 round has probably taken more deer in the U.S. than any other cartridge out there. If you couldn't hit with it there are only two things that could have been wrong and I'm giving the benefit of the doubt when I say it was probably a bad rifle. Bad rifles come in all calibers!

We don't have to agree. We don't have to own the same weapons. We don't have to recommend a 30-30 when there are better choices IMHO.

I could be wrong, but I bet more deer have been taken with 30.06 than 30-30.

You are one "soopabadass" my friend. Are you loading your own...if so...would you mind sharing some data with some us that are 30-30 impaired.
