Thanks... That's what I want to do (eventually). I love the ol' 30-30 as is with open sights. But I would love to get a .270 with agreat 3-9 x 42 scope! But I was just thinking about the 30-30 and slapping a scope back on it. But, then again, I love the classic "old school vibe" of carrying it the thick woods with open sights.

I like your way of thinking. Maybe I'll keep the 30-30 as is, and try to convince my wife I need a bigger, more longer range, rifle complete with a scope!
