I agree on the 30-30 great all around ranch gun, easy to carry around, fairly cheap to buy and way cheaper to shoot than the 45/70.Papalote wrote:A Marlin 30-30 is an inexpensive gun found in most pawn shops. Ammo is inexpensive and easy to obtain. A short barrel will be easy to handle in the truck or while carrying. I carry a 16" Winchester trapper in 30-30 or Marlin 357 trapper when at the ranch. I have used it to take squirrels, rabbits, deer and rocks. Truth be known, I hunt with the 30-30. Get a 30-30 and you'll be happy. The 45-70 is not cheap to shoot.
