I got my ol Sears 53 (Win 94) 30/30 all set up for elk this fall. Open sights, zeroed to 250y with awesome Hornady Leverevolution ammo. Maybe this is my yr. No heavy rifles, no big scopes. Just me and my Winchester. I should be able to run up and down them hills here. Well if my knees hold up maybe. Good luck w your 30-30 too.
