"Teddy Roosevelt is famous for his love of shooting, hunting, and battle. He was an avid gun user and collector, and a great fan of
Winchester lever-action
rifles, and one of
his most-used and prized Winchesters will be a part of it. That Rifle is a
Model 1894 likely chambered in .30-30, which he often called his “Little .30.” Roosevelt instantly became a fan of the cartridge when it was first introduced. He was such a fan of their rifles that he tried every new model introduced, and when he felled an antelope at about 180 yards he declared the .30-30 Model 1894 as “Aces,” and decided to get one for use at home in Long Island."
Of course, the 30-30 now brings, some would say, too many limitations to the modern hunter.
