Flat profile, moderate recoil, not too loud and easy to find ammunition for - a lot to like. The local Wal-Mart has Remington green box 150 grain SP for a bit over $15 and no shipping cost at all.<br /><br />I have better accuracy with an aperture receiver sight (Lyman 66 I believe it is), and if it is a scope, the AE versions are easier to accomodate. If you can locate a functioning Redfield FrontIER mount and scope, it is worth consideration. The IER is of course Intermediate Eye Relief, a 2 1/2x 'scout mount' scope in front of receiver, replacing rear saddlehorn sight assembly. Sweet little rig if can be found - manufactured in late 1960's if I remember correctly. The sight was made for the Winchester 94 and Remington 600, that too a fine carrying carbine with more power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-60405190956620728472018-01-30T14:40:17.440-06:002018-01-30T14:40:17.440-06:00Hi Zack

We stayed with a friend of theirs for a couple of days in BC and he had an ancient pitted 30-30 Winchester on his wall. It had been dredged up from some local river I believe. He let me handle it and then took me to his gun safe which held a mint 30-30. I think it was a Carbine as I remember the barrel being shorter that the one in your photo.<br /><br />Next day he took me up to his local range and set up some clays (not far away)which I duly blasted. No ear protection and I thought it had a bit of a kick at the time.<br /><br />He was surprised that I knew how to load and operate it without instruction, but as I explained - I had been watching Westerns since I could remember - how could I not know!<br /><br />All the best!<br />JonTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-31468132554368945422018-01-27T14:17:08.604-06:002018-01-27T14:17:08.604-06:00The Win 30-30 was the first firearm I bought after...The Win 30-30 was the first firearm I bought after I came of age. That was in 1977. I bought it new from the hardware store for around $125. I sure have made great memories with it.<br /><br />As this was California I think it befitting to mention that it took about 5 minutes to complete the purchase. I had no need for the shipping box so left that at the store. I walked out the store and a bit down the sidewalk carrying a rifle and two boxes of cartridges. No one batted an eye. <br /><br />RickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495862358340777039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-53828707337003542018-01-24T14:26:04.924-06:002018-01-24T14:26:04.924-06:00Nice Winchester, it’ll get the job done.

The later models were definitely easier to mount a scope to. <br /><br />http://wilson--blog.blogspot.com/2014/12/people-with-guns-collection-77.html<br />Wilsonhttp://www.john-s-wilson.com/wilsonblog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-75377638259660884782018-01-20T18:29:18.619-06:002018-01-20T18:29:18.619-06:00Nice rifle you have there.

With regard to ejection, I much prefer a Marlin lever gun. <br /><br />As for that ammo, it is currently going for only $13.20 a box at this place: https://vizardsgunsandammo.com/rem-ammo-r30302-core-lokt-30-30-win-core-lokt-soft-point-170-gr-20box-10case/. No idea what they charge for shipping but not a bad price nowadays for the ammo.Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-37755082463132121642018-01-17T22:49:25.454-06:002018-01-17T22:49:25.454-06:00Heh, oh heck yeah!

I'd say everyone in the USA (perhaps the world) knows what a Model 94 looks like ... and it certainly would looks like big trouble to those on the wrong end. <br /><br />Z@Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993343918438930816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157604126676228213.post-86239528173616783252018-01-17T16:03:05.121-06:002018-01-17T16:03:05.121-06:00I have one.

I might look into the Hornady LEVERevolution fodder, though.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.com
