Well, Model 70, I do not doubt you that they state that.
If I were offred only a 357 magnum or 30-30 chambering in a 94, for bears, I'll take the 30-30. No matter what they state.
Stand a 357 Magnum loaded cartridge, and a 30-30 loaded cartridge next to each other...heavy 357 load with a 180 grain bullet, and a 170 grain 30-30 load, so that you're comparing similar bullet weights. Take a good look, compare the two, then apply common sense.

good point but ya know, the same could be said for all the short-mags vs. the "old, out dated" magnums that have been around forever.
