RE: 30-30 Winchester or 35 Rem?
yeah Ive always liked the 30-30. But my grampa has a Marlin 336C thats chambered in 35 rem, havent used it for deer yet, but he shot his first deer with it in '65, and brings it as a backup on his bear hunts. I like both rounds.

Theres nothing wrong with the .308 Winchester either, for short range shots!
Just my personal philosophy, but ANY deer cartridge can make a short shot, but the short range cartridges CAN'T make a long shot if one comes up!

(and it helps that I also havebarrels for myContender in 30-30 so it's one less cartridge I have to pack if going out of town)

well let me be ther barer of bad news to all you tirdy tirdy fans out there, I have been using a 35rem for many years and there hasnt been a deer that I have shot with it that hasnt dropped dead in its tracks up to 250 yards some on full out runs. I have shot a few deer with a 30-30 but personally the 30-30 is way over rated and the .35rem is way over looked as an excellent all purpose deer rifle, use the .35 youll be much more happier.
