Good artical. There is no doubt that the winchester lever gun and the 30-30 was a package that caught on and is still as popular as ever. When it comes to packing a rifle through the woods or up and down steep grades, the old 30-30 is still a joy to carry. I agree 100 percent with his statement about people who can't kill thier game with a 30-30. They don't know its limits or can't respect them. Or they are just not competent. As a short range rifle thats easy to carry and easy to shoot, Its still amoung the best.
