The .30-30 is a fine yet, close range rifle.....it don't begin to compare with the .30-06 for range.....and yes...power means range....

If you're willing to live with it's range, take it hunting anything you want.....but remember...for a very few dollars there's .30-06 power available.

I personally suggest it be retired for deer hunting in the woods...where it's a shining beacon a true classic.
