Thread: Who's running a short fast 30-30 single shot ?

Thread revival! Shot this neat wee rifle at my place yesterday . . . . With powder coated cast bullets it'll stack them at 50M. Nice to shoot but surprisingly loud (with Hardy supressor).

Inspired me to send my unloved (so little used) Contender 30-221 barrel (1:8 twist) in to get opened up to 30-30. It's a 17" barrel and is exactly 5.5 lbs with a DPT suppressor on it. Leupold VX3 HD 3.5-10 cls-zs to mount is in hand and will take the weight to just under 6.5 lbs all up. My new lightweight 30cal - should poke Nosler 125s out at a pretty useful 2550fps for a nice compromise between weight, recoil and capability.
