7-30 Waters ????

Does anybody make a rifle for this round? Winchester used to offer it in the Model 94.

T/C chambers for the 7-30 Waters in their Contender rifles and handguns...

I build rifles chambered for the 7-30 Waters off the H&R single shots. This cartridge is accurate enough to literally be used for target shooting and it's performance on game out to a couple hundred yards is nothing short of amazing....

I had one of these ina Contender back in the late 80's and, although it offered a substantialincrease in range and trajectory over the 30/30 parent caliber, it is still lagging behind the 7MM-08. One of my buddies has one of these in a Winchester 94 - nice medium range deer gun but he has only ever used it once.

I have a contender barrel that I rechambered to 300 jdj necked down to 7mm. (444 marlin case) It is awesome-both in killing ability,velocity,energy,and accuracy.
