[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2096677, member: 15054"] I have had a few lever action 30-30's marlin and winchester both. These were all scoped..i still have my dad's 94 4" groups at 200 yards. It had the old redfield widefield 4x scope on it since 1974 The glass is scratched up on the scope and just last year it got another scope.... Many deer killed with that model 94 I personally killed a nice buck at 217 yards with 150gr flat nose store ammo from the 1980's It gets handloads now ,my buddy dropped his first buck at over 300 yards aimed above the deer's back and punched through the top of the ribs took some lungs and out the other side..deer went 40 yards and piled up. Never underestimate the old 30-30 My second cousin hunts elk every year in Colorado..2 guys in the group use their lever action 30-30's and they get their elk every year...They stated the 30-30 is good for 250 yard easy kills on elk. After i heard that i started stretching the legs on my 30-30. I only shoot cast bullets from it now..and if i need the long range shots i use my 308 or 30-06.. I hunt areas of pipe line and river that even the 30-06 would would be rendered useless. Use that gun and enjoy it...I like the wood on that one also [/QUOTE]
