Any love for the 30-30 Winchester?

[Grizzlykiller]

Pictures are always needed yes.
Mine is a 1966 Winchester model 94 .30-.30 and I do have love for it. I saw you'd mentioned for deer hunting only but this is a deer so why not? It does have the ability to knock over the worlds largest deer from over a hundred yards with one shot.
 So yep it's a cool gun

Ah yes, the Ol' Dirty 30. I  hunt with 2 , a Marlin and a Winchester. Love them both.

Hornady's Leverevolution is a great choice to extend the possibilities of this rifle.

Having had both the Winchester 94 and the Marlin 335, I prefer the Marlin with the side ejection plus it just fits me better.  The 30/30 round has been around a loooong time and is here to stay. It is a fine deer or bear cartridge with in it's limits just as some other calibers are limited.

My Marlin 336 will go to one of my sons when I cash in my chips, it has belonged to all three of my bothers before I acquired it years ago in a gun trade. The Winchester I bought it and sold it shortly after buying it.

I own a Marlin 336 30-30 Cowboy Model with a 24" octagonal barrel. I put a Lyman peep sight on it and it is very accurate at 100 yards. My wife loves the gun and a friend couldn't get over the gun's accuracy in comparison to his 7mm Rem. Mag. at 100 yards at the range.

Looks like there is some love 

Thanks guys! 

I'm looking forward to getting back to the range with my old 30-30.  Should be a fun time shooting it again, it's been toooo long.

Great gun and I killed a bunch of deer with it in my youth. Unfortunately my eyes don't work so well with open sights anymore and I don't care for the way a scope has to go on the 94.

My problem too. I installed fiber optic sights on one of my 94s last year after using them on my muzzleloader for a few years.  Working good for me. I'll use my scoped Ruger .06 this year when hunting clearcuts for blacktails, but will use my old 60's era 30-30 when I go in the brush.

I have two Model 94s - my grandfather's that he bought in 1945, and another of unknown vintage that is really my son's (passed down from his maternal grandfather).  I have taken several deer with my grandfather's, he had a 2x Redfield extended relief scope mounted on the barrel, I took that off as I didn't care for the look.  Now that my vision is going the way of other 50+ aged hunters, I will probably put a peep on the rear. 

I always felt the observed terminal performance greatly exceeded the rather anemic ballistics, most of the deer I shot with it dropped in their tracks.
