30/30- STILL KING

1977-Col. Charles Askins-GUNS ANS AMMO magazine, Big Game edition

[@johnsheetz6639]

I remember many articles in magazines written by Colonel Askins. He has some good stories.

I MIGHT LOOK AROUND SOME DAY TO SEE WHAT ELSE I HAVE

[@davidharris7687]

Just watched this and I'm a 30-30 lover, it having dropped everything I aimed at when I done my part! Thanks, enjoyed this!

[@doghousedon1]

I probably shoot more 30-30 than anything else these days. A couple boxes of ammo and a single shot leads to an afternoon of fun. This round forces one to actually hunt. And THAT'S when the fun really begins. Thanks for the vid.

[@michealdaye4551]

Everytime you load the rifle you think about where the cartridge has been and what it has done. Love my 170 my first big game rifle.

[@fuzztfork8]

You got that right !

[@disposable762]

LOVE the Thurdy-Thurdy!!! My first deer was taken with that round.

[@fuzztfork8]

My buddy has taken a deer every year since 1964, except the 4 years he spent in the Army

[@mathewgoebel4078]

I knew all that, but it was good hearing it. From somebody else you're spoton I use the 30-30 to this day and I also like using any other old round. You need to do a video on the 35. Remingthat's another good oldy

[@Boomhower89]

Great woods gun or brush gun. Hit anything in the heart or lungs they will go down. I love lever actions.

[@JeffreyCotle]

I started out hunting with a 30-30 Winchester 94. I still hunt with this same rifle. It has taken moose, caribou,deer, coyote and what ever else needed. Has always worked. .I love my rifle and wouldn't even consider any thing else.

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

Love my old Winchester 30/30

[@fuzztfork8]

No one wants to live without the 30/30 or the old 45 long colt

[@Leverguns50]

The cartridge is awesome but the guns it comes in are even better

[@fuzztfork8]

At one time we had Winchester 94-Marlin in 336, Savage 170 pump and even the model 99, Mossberg, and the list goes on

[@adaywitjay1]

This video is probably one of the best on KZbin! I mean it’s downright sweet and a great change from all the craziness out here today!!! Feels like hanging out with Grandpa! Thanks for this video Bossman I really needed this more than I knew!!! Have a Great rest of your day! 🙏🏾

[@brianmiller3884]

I have a savage 170 and marlin 336... if you put 170 grain bullet anywhere mid shoulder they usually drop...at most I've never had one go further than 30 yards...best meat gun there is for Eastern Woodlands

[@fuzztfork8]

We all agree

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

I have had and hunted with 30-30 for 50 years. Had two of them one was my father’s .Now my nephew has one and my grandson has the other. Both of them 336 Marlins and they have always taken deer, however the 30-06 is king of the woods, planes , and mountains.👍✌🏻🇺🇸🙏🏽😎

[@fuzztfork8]

Good memories for certain

[@LarryGarcia-p3j]

Now a days you hear abt all these fancy rifles and fancy cartridges. Well, am 80yrs now and the only cartridge and rifle I have ever Trusted as a do it all is the 30-30 Lever Action Carbine. Enough said..

[@AmericanLibertyFighters]

I have a Marlin 30-30 and .308. Both are good but I really like my 30-30.

[@fuzztfork8]

You can count yourself very lucky indeed

[@kylelusk8994]

great video buddy! and perfect timing! lots of info! thank you kind sir!

[@fuzztfork8]

Glad you liked it

[@JoanieKennedy]

Awesome read up, Thank you.

[@fuzztfork8]

Havent seen you around for awhile. Nice to know you are still breathing.

[@JoanieKennedy]

@@fuzztfork8 lol I'm sorry things took off on my own channel and got really busy with it, then I got sick been dealing with a condition called Trigminal Neuralgia 🥺 So I have had more time on my hands to start catching up on others channels.

[@fuzztfork8]

@@JoanieKennedy For myself, dont get the notices that we used to get when someone posted that we were subbed to. Been awhile since I was over on your channel. Bet you have more molds than say two years ago .

[@miketreen7403]

I’ve owned several 30-30’s from win 94’s to marlin 336’s to single shot H&R’s. Majority I’ve traded or given to kids for a first gun. Can honestly say I never felt undergunned when I was in the woods.

[@fuzztfork8]

I whole heartly agree

[@arthurshingler2025]

Me too!

[@marcogram1216]

Very nice video brother. I like your style. Keep them up! I only slightly disagree. The .30-30 with its 170 grain will absolutely outperform the 7.62x39. Great video.

[@matthewlyness8161]

Shot my first deer with one with my grandfather's 1939 Winchester model 94 30WCF at 8 years old I'm still hunting today with a 30-30 killed a lot of deer with still going strong

[@jamespollard1670]

I've always liked the 30-30 .

[@CandidZulu]

Back when this was written, the 30-06 was the most popular centerfire rifle in Sweden. Now it is probably the .308. The 6.5 was always debated with a strong following. It’s popularity was mainly due to cheap surplus ammo, and it’s suitabiliy as a small game rifle.

[@fuzztfork8]

The 30/30 as a woods rifle has no rival

[@Mike-zw7fq]

I recently asked one of my Students that grew up in the heart of Alaska what did his Family use while hunting? He said the Winchester model 94 in 30-30. He said that is always what they used to take moose. He said it never let them down. So No reason to change rifles or cartridges. When i asked about bear protection? He said a Glock 40 S/W. Thats all they had. He said they looked at firearms as tools, not things to be fancied. I found that conversation very enlightening. Interesting vidio! Best Wishes! M.H

[@pcbulletempire9872]

👑 30-30 👍👍🇺🇸🤓

[@fuzztfork8]

American guns--YES

[@arthurshingler2025]

Agreed!

[@reloader7sixtwo]

I love my old Savage 170B 30-30 I've only shot cast lead in it since I've owned it. Factory jacketed bullet velocity an accuracy with cast lead is easily doable although you really don't need full house loads with cast lead to do the job on deer size game. I shoot everything for 90 gr. SWC plinker loads to 170 gr. FP at factory velocity in mine.

[@fuzztfork8]

yES SIR, A PERSON CAN DO ALOT WITH AN OLD 30/30

[@jefflatham3247]

Is it true that the 30-30 was the first smokeless production sporting cartridge ? Thank you for a interesting video.

[@jti2007]

I believe you’re correct about the first smokeless cartridge being the .30-30.

[@clintoncampbell236]

First USA smokeless cartridge available for civilian purchase 1895. The Russians had the 7.62 X54 since the 1870’s by comparison and it used cordite which is far less smoky than black powder.

[@royorkesjr.8386]

My Savage model 170 was my first deer rifle

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

5:45 and that right there is what finally dethroned the 30-30! In the early 90's there was a glut of cheap 7.62x39 rifles due the end of the cold war and collapse of the combloc (Comecon). You could get SKS all day long for $75 to $100. That's what really killed off the K-mart, Sears and J.C. Penny firearms departments. They just couldn't compete with that!

[@EMTRailfan]

Took down my first deer with my 1986 30-30 Marlin. Bet you can’t guess what rifle as been slung on my shoulder and harvested every deer since... I have other rifles that I could grab, but I just can’t.

[@fuzztfork8]

MODEL 36 WOULD BE MY GUESS, HAD ONE IN 32 SPECIAL

[@EMTRailfan]

Without digging her out, I was thinking 336, but that might be my .357, lol! She has the walnut stock and cross bar safety. I think I might have an old video on her here somewhere. I’ll have to look.

[@EMTRailfan]

Yep. Model 336CS. My .357 model is 663, lol. I better play the numbers.

[@fuzztfork8]

@@EMTRailfan i HOPE YOU WIN SOMETHING !!

[@CrankyCleatus]

Love the 30-30...but you know that Fuzzy 😁👍

[@fuzztfork8]

Me too Cranky, it was my first center-fire rifle

[@InSightFreedom]

Just such a pure round. Yep. Shot placement. Always important. Deer shots where I live rarely exceed 30-60 yards thanks to the density of the forest.

[@fuzztfork8]

Yes it is

[@realmetis8002]

apparently the 3030 is not viable anymore it seems all animals are made of iron ....at least that is what i heard lololololol

Ill take my 308 over 3030 every time. The 3030 just runs outa steam past 100yards. So anemic
