my son is left handed and i didn't want to pay alot for a left handed rifle. i wanted a 30-30 for along time so i asked for one for fathers day and got one. i use a 30-06 and use 180 grn bullets for elk and will still prefer it over any other rifle because i've used it for almost 20 years now. but that's not saying that i might not use the 30-30 in the future.

the winchester lever action rifle has been arround a long time and has filled a lot of stomachs through out it's history. i don't think that i or anybody should condem another for his or her choice of rifles. my mother used a 30-30 in her day and alot of other women use it for hunting too.......


i also enjoy bow hunting for elk and deer but i still rifle hunt when i get drawn for a rifle hunt.


if i was finding alot of dead and wounded animals in my neck of the woods i would take a look at the hunters in my hunt unit and not worry about anothers choice of rifle.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> just my .02
