.44mag vs. .30-30
A buddy of mine is looking at buying a new levergun, Marlin for certain, but he's torn between the 1894 and the 336, .44mag and .30-30 respecitively...he wants it for hunting deer at various "short to mid" ranges, likely no longer than 200yrds.
So which would you recommend and to what ranges: I gave him my advice but I'm pretty biased, so he asked if I'd find out some more "level" opinions on the matter.
