Who makes 30-30's beside marlin

RE: 30-30
thompson center makes a 30-30 single shot. i think nef also does
|
RE: 30-30
Winchester made them for nearly a century. Right up until 2006. You'll see them made again in the next two years, and while they might read Winchester.... if they aren't made in New Haven.... then they really won't be Winchesters... kind of subjective of me... but thats how I role.

RE: 30-30
Marlin is a fine piece. Get it, love it, shoot it and tell us all about it!

RE: 30-30
Are you just talking about lever guns, or anything that chamber the 30-30 round?

RE: 30-30
No matter what make of gun you choose, the 30-30 cartridge is a super round for short range (inside 150 yards) deer killing.
Twenty five years ago, my Dad started me with a Marlin 336 30-30, and after many years of "magnumitis", I have returned to my roots. Last season, I killed 4 deer and 3 hogs with the new Hornady LeverEvolution ammo and am more impressed with the round than ever. |
RE: 30-30
Try 200 yards.And it kills moose just fine too.Last year my 14 year old dopped his 1 st. moose with a 170 gr Hornady handload out of a H+R single shot.This trainer I picked up to drill into my boys heads the importance of making the first shot count..........Harold

RE: 30-30
ORIGINAL: Pioneer2 Try 200 yards. For the way that I hunt and where I hunt, nearly all of my shots on game are under 75 yards. |
RE: 30-30
I started with a 30-30 myself,but the truth is that many other cartridges kill just as well at short ranges,and much better at longer ranges.
|
RE: 30-30
Wow, I did a quick look around at most of the major gun makers sites and not many make a 30-30 anymore. I was sort of shocked. I thought I saw some 30-30 bolt actions before but I don't see any listed. Just lever guns and single shots. I figured surely Henry would make one, but nope. Your best bet from what I can tell is a Marlin.
If you like that round though and want a bolt action or semi auto look into a 7.62x39, pretty close in ballistics if you get premium ammunition. Paul |

RE: 30-30
I really like the NEF 30-30. No limitation on bullet shape and the gun shoots really well. Its still a 150-200 yard maximum range rifle. I also have a 300 Savage and 308 so I don't use the 30-30 when longer shots are likely.
|
RE: 30-30
You can get a 30-30 bolt action single shot and lever . Probly alot more models but the ole marlin 30-30 is hard to beat for close range .
|
RE: 30-30
Yup...
My Marlin .30-30 is for close in action in the heavy woods. Plain ol' open sights and the shot might be, at best, 50-75 yards. It's my go-to gun that I always reach for. But now for longer range shots,I picked up a Savage bolt action in .308 complete with a 3-9x32 scope, for a heck of a price earlier this past spring. It is wickedly accurate and can do way more than the .30-30 but I'll use it for longer 100-200 yard shots. Butch A. |
RE: 30-30
winchester, sears, and savage ( model 99 ) for lever action and there are others that make single shots and bolt actions too.
|
RE: 30-30
Pretty hard not to love a Winchester 94 in 30-30.
Or a Savage 99 The new LeveRevolution shells from Hornady are fantastic. |
RE: 30-30
On my list of rifles to obtain is the Stevens 30-30/20 guage over under. That would be the ultimate hunting rifle for when we are getting firewood in the fall. Turkeys, grouse, bear, cougar, deer and even an elk if it isnt too far away would all be game.

RE: 30-30
I have a Savage model 340C bolt action that my dad gave me about 30 years ago and I killed my 1st deer with it, a 7pt, I love this gun. I don't know if Savage or any of the others make a bolt action 30-30 anymore or not.

RE: 30-30
It would be well worth the time and effort to seek out a used Winchester 94 and have it cleaned up. No better rifle to start out with and a heck of a lot of fun. That's just my humble opinion.
|
RE: 30-30
I own aWinchester 94 (1966), a Marlin 336 (1984), a Savage 24V 30-30/20ga (1998) and my son and I always take them when hunting in Palmettos.....
|
RE: 30-30
I just picked up a Savage 340 in 30/30 today. I has what looks to be factory peep sites on it.
|
RE: 30-30
mine is a ted williams, it is really old i dont think they make them any more
|
RE: 30-30
Wasnt the Ted Williams just a Winchester mdl 94?

RE: 30-30
ORIGINAL: retrieverman ORIGINAL: Pioneer2 Try 200 yards. ORIGINAL: retrieverman If you do your part, there's no reason at all to worry about a 30-30 using LeveRevolutions out beyond 200 yards. I would probably even go to 250 or 300, depending on the circumstances. Hornady indicates if you set your sights to hit 3" high at 100 yards, they'll hit dead on at 200. And, at least on antelope, they hit like a bolt thrown from God Himself at 200 yards. I hit a doe at that range this weekend and the bullet took out ribs on both sides and left an exit wound you could push a golf ball through.

Imagine how many deer would have been taken with a 30-30 if these shells had come along 60 years ago. We probably wouldn't have any left! :D |
