Re: OT: Hunting Rounds

This is very odd, but my first high-power rifle was a .30-30. lever
action.
Bagged my first deer with it.  Open sights, kicked like a mule,
low-velocity, but I still like that gun.

The .243 is a decent hunting rifle too, but I think I prefer the .06.

My problem is I'm getting old enough that shooting without a scope is a
chore.

I'm still a fan of the "Obsolete" .30-30 round as well, having grown up
in
Western Oregon, where the amount of cover means extreme-range shots are
rare.  It's a handy little round, easier on smaller game than the
Ought-six,
and being a lefty, I find lever actios a lot more attractive than
shelling
out extra $ for a Left-handed action.
