Catus,
I do agree with the you on the 30/30 being classy, I love mine. And I also agree about the non clean up factor and the follow up shot.

But I'm not sure about good deal more range. From my bench, my Model 94 30/30 has nothing on my T/C Encore 209X50 as far as range is concerned. I believe with the Leverevolution round, it pretty much levels the playing field between these two guns. Again as always, I'mno "expert" that just my opinion.

I truly love my lever guns, so I'd say Rotor, if I was in your shoes, I'd carry my 30/30 if I could.
