Who on here likes shooting a .30-30 Win. Because today was the first time I shot one, and to be frank, it was kind of boring bec

There's a reason why the .30-30 has survived as a popular cartridge for so many years. Part of it is the rifles/carbines that are chambered for it, but it's also fun to handload for the cartridge. My Winchester Model 94 BELONGS in my truck.

I guess the reason most of us like this cartridge so much is the longevity and application. I might be wrong but the Model 94 was a contender years ago as a military arm. It was also the go to rifle in many a Police car. Let's not forget John Wayne and every good or bad guy in Hollywood. It has also feed countless families. Most of all it is a functional object that is older than me. A list that is slowly shrinking.

PS; Pain will lead to flinching. &. There is no flinching in Marksmanship!

Carl Huber, I think that some of the lawmen that ambushed Bonnie and Clyde were armed with .30-30 lever actions? Not entirely for sure but I seem to remember pics of them holding the arms they used at the time. Also there was the BAR, which was also one of Clyde's favorite weapons.

I believe you are right ozark. Their was a 12 gauge pump and Frank Hamer used a 35 caliber Autoloader and a Colt 38 super pistol.
