yeah it is i am only 15 and this is the very first high powered rifle i have and i was suppose to get a 7mag but things didn't work out the way i expected with my money

but next year i will have me a 270wsm


but the range for the for elk will be limited to 100 yards and no further and for deer it will be a limit to 175yrds

i have the up most confidence in that gun for what i am hunting so please just kinda keep those comments stating i am crazy for using the 30-30 for elk.i have to make what i have work.
