One of my buddies hunted for years with a Savage 340 in 30-30 and killed many a deer with it in Western Washington of all places....where doyou live oldbrass? I grew up in Skamania county and still have a place there. I've killed many a deer there with one of two Marlin 336's in 30-30 I have...great caliber for that neck of the woods!

I`m in Thurston county. I hunt the Naselle valley in pacific county and on occasion the east where its open country. I had a marlin 30-30 once and sold it..I regret it now..It was suggested I build a .308 which is what I might just do, that will cover everything I wanna shoot at from paper to Elk. I got this 7-08 mainly because its a lefty. I figured It would serve as a deer/elk rifle with proper loads, sadly it won`t.

I also have a 110 30-06 featherweight that will do the job but kicks like a mule even with a limb saver.I`m becoming recoil sensitive in my 50s and wanted something freindlier
