I agree... The 30-30 is a timeless classic that has taken more deer than any other cartridge around. [8D]

Be advised though that since Winchester stopped making the model 94, the prices on used ones skyrocketed and won't come back down any time soon. Another option is to look at the Marlin 30-30's - which are a little stronger built than the Winchester, but don't have the same "vibe" factor as a true Winchester model 94.
