I take mine out for an occaissional stalk. Mine is a model 94. Of todays batch, probably the Marlin is the most proven. The Mossberg gets good write ups. Of course there are plenty of Winchesters out there, but they are designed for open sights- mine has Lyman apertures on it.

My brother in law has used his 30-30 for about 40 years. It is his only center fire hunting rifle. He's killed many, many deer with this rifle. I know of none that we have failed to recover, and no more than the "usual" effort. He uses Remington Express. Not sure what grain bullet.
