Frizz gave you good advice. Leave that 30-30 at home for the trip that you described, 150 yds. is the max. range on this round. It's designed to be a short range cartridge used in the thick brush and short distances, don't ruin your trip by using this rifle. What caliber is your Remington 700? It may be a little heavier but if it's in a decent cartridge then you'd be much better off taking this rifle.
