I am just wondering why it isso taboo nowdays to hunt deer with a 30/30? It is like the 30/30 is the gradeschool version of a true hunting rifle. I know that I started on one, shot my first two deer with one and even my first grouse lol. (actuallya funny story on that one). But once I got moved out of the house and on my own I ended up getting an .06 and now a .270. But now I find myself going back to the old lever action, not a 30/30 but rather a 44 Magnum levergun. My son has my old 336 Marlin 30/30 now and I am going to get a Winchester 94 in 30/30 just so that I can try the other version of the most popular hunting caliber. But tell me, why do you think that it is so taboo to use a 30/30?
