Mighty thick brush out here in western,wa and the lowly 30-30 is still quite popular..I know a fella could just get a lever gun but out of pure curiosity would it be possible to build a 30-30 off a savage short action ?
You would need the proper bolt face and I don`t even think a barrel exists for 30-30...Ofcourse there are much better calibers so for conversation sake try not to laugh to hard
