If your hunting anywhere were there is heavy cover and the most you will be able to shoot is around seventy-five yards tops, no other gun beats a lever action 30-.30. This is the perfect gun, it's short, light, and can easily take down a deer. I would reccomend getting a raised scope, so you can still use the iron sights for shorter shots

30.06 will bring down any game animal in North America. F & S, posted an article I believe in the Dec issue where one of their writers brought his 30.06 to Africa and did very well there and harvested rather large game. It all depends on the ammo at that point, which with this caliber round there are more available in more places. It also has a longer range and knock down power over a 30.30
