This article was written by Guy Miner Is the 30-30 lever action rifle still a worthy hunting rifle in the 21st Century? Oh my goodness yes!

7mm Rem Mag is a VERY popular hunting cartridge, and for good reasons! With this cartridge you get more velocity compared to 300 Win Mag, and less recoil as well. With enough power to stop almost any game animal in North America, it’s hard to go wrong with this powerful “platform”. In this article, we’ll […]
