Caliber 30-30 use in Africa???

[spike.t]

Put this on takeri photos thread if I remember correctly..but as its a thread on 30-30 for use in African hunting thought would add it here...shot it running off at an angle ..can't remember distance but around 60 yards plus...it piled up instantly...took another 2 for staff rations as Christmas treat

Some Norwegians have used it in SA after pg with Ballistic Tip in TC Contenders , in a break action or fb it is an underrated cartridge .

I dont know if I mentioned it but the owner of one of the farm I hunt on has this wierd old bolt action 30-30 that he uses for camp meat.
Mostly wildebeest.
50-70m in the thick stuff, it works.
Why would a lever gun not do the same.

At one stage Remington made the 788 in 30-30 that was extremely accurate.

Several years back, I turned one down that was mint conditioned....$300 at a gun show because I was looking for a lever action. I've made more than one dioic decision in my lifetime!

I brought a Marlin transition model 36/336 Sporting Carbine in .30-30 to RSA in '89.
Shot a vervet monkey w/ it.
Sold it and regretted it.
Just bought a replacement, a 1950 336 Sporting Carbine.
Then broke my wrist so it'll be a while till I shoot it!
