I'm assuming you are talking about hunting deer? If so, a 30-30 would be fine. It wouldn't be my first choice but if you own one, use it. It will work fine. Know your limitations though when it comes to accuracy and so on.

yeah i agree

but it depends on what ur range and what kind of terain

30-30 is a gread brush gun for short distance but not all that great for longer shots

It all depends what state and terrain and other things that you are shooting through

A 30-30 is fine for deer up to 150 yards.

well when i first started hunting i used (and loved) my 30 - 30.. it was a sweet heart of a rifle.. never failed me.. but then my parents bought me a .270 and it is a sweet heart too, but can go ALOT farther than a 30 - 30 would ever imagine
