Have to agree with what has been said and add that if you are talking about a lever gun with factory iron sights, the front bead limits your range to fairly close as respects bullet selection. A single shot with a scope can put a 30-30 into another level and a premium bullet could well be an asset.

I had no trouble downing this red stag with my 30-30 carbine. Plain but effective 170 gr Winchester Power Point ammo did the job nicely! Remington core-lokts and FEDERAL power shock ammo have very good reputations, too! Plan to hunt deer with "plain" ammo - higher priced Premium ammo is for moose and the great bears.
This South Dakota muley never knew what hit him. Yes, I hunt out of state with my 30-30's. Never had any trouble with them at all. It's a fine cartridge for the careful and patient hunter. I've heard many arguements that favor magnum rifles and ignore them all. Getting to within 150 yards or closer has been quite rewarding for me. Good hunting to you. TR
