My favorite rifle was forgotten!! :-) I wanted to suggest that instead of the 30-30 you might consider the 35 Remington. It's chambered in the same kind of guns, ( lever action carbines) and is a FINE caliber. The 30-30 might have a little extra in range, but the 35 has a real advantange in stopping power, and that little branch that might be between you and the growling dog is'nt as much of a problem. The extra bullet size of the 35 make it great for lot's of tasks at the rural home. ( Not as much range, better stopping power...) BTW Anybody out there tried on in a Thompson Center Contender? I think I could enjoy handgun hunting for something besides squirrel with that.... :-) Tom Ritter ritter@cs.msstate.edu
