Between these 2 calibers there is no question in my mind... put grandpa's old .30-30 back in the closet or take the firing pin out and mount in over the fireplace, but don't take it out in the woods, unless you have no other choice.
A man after my own heart, doing that would loosen up another slot in the gun safe for something more worthy --- I haven't shot the thing since I was a kid and got my first (and only) 270, I can't move it on since its kind of an heirloom. Putting it to rest over the fireplace with a bridle, scabbardand a lariat and calling it good would be a fitting end game for it --- museum piece. A momento of days gone by....
