Yet again, the poor old classic .30-30 isn't mentioned. It's a fantastic caliber and gun for the young, small-framed, or the seasoned pro .... it's fully capable of taking any deer or varmint that walks the earth and at ranges out to where most folks are comfortable shooting. It's light, doesn't kick, and kills critters dead ... and most rifles chambered for it won't break your bank either ...

Just a thought ...
