I am looking for a everyday beat around carry rifle to keep in a scabbard on my saddle. This rifle will be used for preditor hunting most of all, so lets say wolves and coyotes. Don't care about the damage to hides, just want em dead. My first thought was to look for a Browning BLR in 243. But I do have a pre 64 mod 94 in 30-30 in tha back of the safe. It is pretty much beyond collector status as it has been drilled and tapped, stock shortened ect. But it is in good working order and has a Lyman flip up tang peep on it. I have never fired this rifle, I have always hated the 30-30. But maybe it would work for what I want?
So you guys that own and shoot the 30-30, how far are they affective as far as accuracy?
What weight bullet to stretch it out there?
Using the open sight for closer and the tang peep for longer shots what do you think I could accuratly get out to?
I ain't to keen on this, but I have it so I am keeping an open mind here.
