I loath a 30-30 myself. I have spent countless hours tracking marginal shots with friends who use a 30-30. I don't know if its my friends luck,or the round. But I love hunting with a 44mag pistol, so a lever would be even better.

I currently have a 30-30, I keep saying I plan to hunt with, but its pretty well shoved to the back of the safe for several years.
