308,30.06,300 win mag , 270,243 or 30.30 are only as good as the man holding the gun, shot placement is everything.

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!

I used to hunt with a 30'06 and a 270 Win.Both of them are permantly retired to the rack,during hunting season,because,now, my shooting range will be limited to 100 yards.My rifle of choice is the same as yours;the 30/30 Win.
If you want a little more Pizzaz,go up to the 300 Savage or the 30/40 Krag.They will give you a little more confidense with moving targets or bad angle targets.
I'm assuming that you re hunting Whitetails.If you are after Moose Elk,etc,then go for the big guns.

I'm itching to get me a .30-30 now. Went hunting tonight and dropped one on the spot with my trusty Savage .270 with Federal Sierra Gamekings. Shot was right at 100 yds. Folded up like a duck landing on water. All my hunting is at 100-150 yds. or less and I'll never take a shot at over 200 if the chance ever arose. I don't plan on hunting big elk, bear or others in the size range. A .270 is all you'll ever need. Shot placement is a must, thus the need for a good scope. I'd love to have a Marlin .30-30 to take with me. The history speaks for itself, it would do all I need, ammo is cheap, you have ammo options and you can throw on the back seat and go. The 3 guns a man should not live without and should at least have is a .22, a shotgun and a .30-30. I'm behind.
Stick with the .30-30 or get a .270 to compliment it, not replace it.

You are in the ideal situation to hunt with my weapon of choice...12 guage slug gun. Talk about KNOCK DOWN POWER. I have a Rem 870 with a rifled barrel and open sights. Easy 3&quot; groups at 100-150 yards but, like you, I rarely have a shot of more than 50 or 60 yds where I hunt...just too thick and hilly. I have taken several deer with it and every one was a single shot and the animal went down in his tracks...like a piano was dropped on him.
