Crobride I hope you can take all the info here that's been said and help your friend out. It's obvious most of the posts here lean toward the fact that a 30/30 will work, it's just limited in range. If your buddy decides to stay with his 30/30 I hope you're a good caller so any shot he might take is well within the guns range. I would'nt let negative feed back sway your decision to easily as your friend may be very comftorable with his weapon and that's half the battle. He may be one to flinch with larger calibers so he would defenitley be better off with the 30/30. Good luck in your decision. elknut1.
