I asked in post #3 because I was hopeing that you had a single shot or bolt gun.
About a year ago I picked up a NEF Handi Rifle chambered in 30-30Win,NIB for $100.
It is the typical "fun gun". I am still going thru my stash of about 25 different .308" bullets in this gun. It will even shoot a 180gr jacketed flat base bullet accurately. The 110gr varmint bullets are tons of fun,and this gun,with it's super strong action will handle pressures up to failed brass.
In the near future I will have a buddy resize some 375Win brass into 30-30Win. With it much thicker web I will see how fast I can move bullets up to about 150grs.
Fun gun !! --- SAWMAN
