Thanks for the link 1895SS. An interesting story and a nice prize bull that will be remembered by the hunter for a long, long time. While a long way from a B&C, it is the type of bull I would be happy to find anytime.

Everyone here knows my favorite hunting rifle. I've made that quite clear. If it hasn't yet sunk in...Winchester Mod 94 .30-30 (Circa 1949). Ease of handling in tight quarters. Speed of shot to shot recovery. Quick target aquisition. Light and well balanced. It can't be beat. It has taken deer, rabbit, elk and one grouse (head shot at 15 yards. Ask my son ). I am a timber and brush still hunter. I just would rather take an elk with something heavier then my .30-30.

30-30 best deer rifle of all time??? Not so sure about that...the 30-06 has won 2 world wars and has killed a hell of a lot of animals itself.

Asking what *THE* best cartridge is, is a very tough thing to do. Its like What is better, Blondes or Brunettes? Someone will say Redheads LOL. Facts are both cartridges have probably killed more game between them than all other's combined.
The 30-30 predates the '06 by quite a while and were cheaper so more people had them. The '06 caught on like wildfire later on and its longer ballistics capability accounted for a great amount of kills.
What is the best? I have no idea, I just like to shoot'em all and have fun. Each has its own use.
