When i was guiding down here in florida. i saw more guys hunting with the old reliable 30-30. 2 to 1 over all over rifles. i had picked up a new Marlin 30-30 in stainless, that rifle coupled with the Hornady leverevolutions, just changes to whole persona of that rifle and caliber. I have no problem stretching my shots out to 200 yds. this is just my opinion. now when i go to my lease in georgia, i tote my .270 as the primary rifle, but in the truck for back-up incase i drop my ruger, is the Marlin. and i have all the confidence to take shots with that 30-30 that i would take with my .270 . most of my shots are under 150 yds.
