Default RE: 30-30 the #1 deer rifle

I know. I have hunted in Canada a lot and I don't think I know a hunter up there that does not have a 303. Or did have at one time. The 303 has taken every species of game in Africa for many many decades. Even with the old cordite loads. I have a couple of 303's the best one is a Long Branch from Canada. It was hard to find one with a good bore. I went through 4 or 5 before I found the Canadian one. I have only shot it with the open military sights but it groups well. I had a nice Jungle Carbine model too for several years. The 7x57 fits that mold as well.
