the one i gave up will just totally drill the bullseye at 100 , really a mean killing machine for sure
ran a fixed 4 on it and just loved using it back when , parked a bunch a deer with it and it also hammered when it got loaned out as well .
one bud shot the biggest 10 ever in his life with it and tried and tried and tried to buy it from me

I have let a few like that get away over the years.

I have a Winchester 30/30 by dad bought for me from JC Penny. I have had since 1978 and added a Marlin to the fold around 10 years ago. I will never part with either of them. I killed wild hogs over the years.

In my younger years I parted with the Winchester to make room for a bolt gun because that's what all the cool people hunted with. I have a Ruger Levergun in 44 mag. With a 240gr magnum handload it will wreck one out to a 100 yards

My first rifle was a Win. 94.
Burned up in a house fire, or I’d still have it!

30-30 is a real old caliber but as we can see can still get the job done.

It is a very capable round.

I have a Marlin 30-30, and my dad has his old Marlin (with a filed down hair trigger) and his brother’s Winchester 30-30. I have killed deer with all three guns. When I’m gonna be at close range, I usually go for Unc’s Winchester. If I’m hunting fields at longer range, I go with my 30.06.

That’s a great family tradition you all have going there with that rifle. Not one thing in this world wrong with anyone owning a gun and knowing how to safely operate it and also knowing exactly what it’s used for!

Thanks for posting y’all’s story.

Those are good skills to have. Hunting and fishing are good skills to teach a youngster as well
