@@brickhammerSS Thank you. She's one of my favorites.

Thanks for the addition !

The 30-30 works, it's cheap, available everywhere, plenty of rifles made for it, and it doesn't kick much.

@@PassivePortfolios Completely agree. It's an excellent cartridge.

That is a really nice 30-30win with that blond wood. I am 64 years old so my first deer I shot was using a very old Marlin 336 in 30-30 made in 1948. I was 12 years old and after that I stopped counting dead deer after 300. For a short time, I used a 30-06 that became my father and my own very worst cartridge rifle we ever used and still to this day I think the 30-06 is a very bad choice of a rifle to buy and from my guiding in Alaska the worst of all is the 30-06. I shot nearly everyone's deer from family to friends they would buy the tag some came hunting in the party and I wacked their deer or buying the tag then tell me we need the meat go get us a deer. Now the Marlin 30-30 hangs on the wall and has not been used in some 10 years. Now I use for Black tail deer - Roosvelt Elk - Yukon Moose - Alaska Brown bear and interior Grizzly - Dall sheep and mountain goat I own these -- Mauser custom 98 300 Wby mag - 300 Wby mag in Weatherby mark 5 with new Pac Nor barrel - Win Model 70 338 win mag - CZ 550 9.3x62 Mauser - AR 10 custom 375 WSM - AR 10 custom 6mm-284 --- AR 10 custom 6.5 -284Norma - Tikka T3 ultra-light 7mm Rem mag - marlin 336 35 Rem then 5 more AR 15s I did in different chamberings. The Weatherby Mark 5 in 300 WBY mag with the new Pac Nor super match 27 inch - fluted - muzzle break on barrel is pretty much set up for allot of kinds of hunting and using a Leupold 6.5x20 power with 30 mm tube I got all covered with this set up. The 7mm Rem Tikka T3 is for long walking, and it is so light it hardly felt to carry but recoil rattles the teeth and eyeballs.

I agree Guns, Tools, Cars and Pizza are all personal preferences 😊✌🌲🦌🌳

@@AlasBabylon1 Thank you. I'm not looking to be a firearm focused channel, but it is a part of homesteading that deserves addressing. Also, the shooting sports are a passion of mine and I had a 17 year career in a well trained armed position so when the mood strikes me I'll touch on the subject.

I never knew the reason the tips were blunt was to keep them from striking the primer of the round in front of it. Very interesting video

Good info. Thanks for sharing. ❤️😊

Pretty much everything you said I agree with. True, especially regarding the model 1894 / 94, I do not recommend, as a professional gunsmith, persons disassembling. Good video

Nice looking gun, Saw that white maple stock version in 44 mag a lot, Got a few dirty thirty s In savage 24.. over 12/ 20 guage. And a remlin 30 30 stainless... just for availability As u say,,,,everywhere I would recommend a bfr in 30 30, Or a t/c encore in 30 30.. The encore is take down backpack able.. With 308/ 30 06 potential if u get accidentally dropped in alaska somewhere. Ammo availability thing.

@@danielravenstar4051 Thank you. Those Savage 24s of yours chambered for 30-30 are a real treasure! Been keeping my eye out for one. It seems a lot of people make much to do over the quality of Marlins immediately after the Remington acquisition, but I believe outside of those couple years, the Remlins are just fine. I also have a 336 that's JM stamped and I feel the Remlin in this video made around 2016?ish is just as good as the older one.

Tried and true ...👍🤠

That's a good looking rifle.

Is that a custom stock? Really nice looking 336. Get yourself a cross bolt safety delete kit and the rifle will be perfect.

@@TOPGUNMPD08 It's a factory maple stock. Marlin offered them with maple for a few years. I know many people hate the cross bolt safeties, but it has never bothered me personally.

If you like a Lever actiopn, The Browning BLR in 308, its a 30-30 on steroids. You can get it to 300 Win Mag

@@WillyK51 The BLR is an awesome rifle. I haven't grabbed one since I already have an autoloader in .308 and bolt actions in other similar power range cartridges. I completely agree with you though, a BLR in .308, 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creedmoor would be a perfect woods rifle for the medium game down here in the south.

@@WillyK51 That would be incredible.

I’ve only shot a .22 rifle. How does the rifle in your video compare to shooting, say, a shotgun? I’m most comfortable with a 9mm pistol, and am definitely not ready for a shotgun. Is a rifle somewhere in between the two?

@@miscellaneousme Any centerfire rifle is gonna be a big step up in power from the .22 you shot. What cartridge you choose a rifle chambered in is gonna make the biggest difference on how hard it recoils against your shoulder. The next step up in power is usually the 5.56/.223rem cartridge that you commonly find in AR-15s. If the AR aesthetic isn't to your liking, the Ruger Mini 14 (which is also semiautomatic) and some bolt action rifles are also chambered in that cartridge. The next step up in power from there is either the .243 winchester cartridge which is commonly chambered in bolt action rifles or the 30-30 shown in this video chambered in lever actions. If all you've experienced is a .22 rifle, it would be worth renting something from a range chambered in 5.56/.223 to see how that feels for you before jumping up to the next step. The .243win and 30-30 class of power is usually the minimum required by law for deer hunting, depending on each state. The 3 most common shotgun chamberings are in order of power: .410 the lightest, then 20 gauge and then 12 gauge being most powerful. Recoil wise, I feel .410 falls in between 5.56/.223rem and the .243/30-30 class. 20 gauge is more stout than .243/30-30 and 12 gauge is much more stout. In general, I would rank the power of the most common rifle and shotgun cartridges as following from lightest to hardest kicking: .22 rifle 5.56/.223rem rifle .410 shotgun .243win bolt rifle 30-30 lever rifle 20 gauge shotgun 12 gauge shotgun and a bunch of rifle chamberings. If you like the lever action style of the rifle in this video, they also make lever action .22s, which are the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Check out Henry Arms for a huge, affordable selection of those. Hope this helps answer your questions and feel free to ask more if you need further clarification. Before moving south last year, my previous 17 year career was firearms focused and I love to help newer shooters.

One of the most popular do it all cartridge for newbies, is the 243 win.A for ever cartridge is the 7-08,It's the 243 necked up to 7MM. If you like a Lever, get a Browning BLR in 7-08, Light, sleek and fast. Shotgun, get 20 Ga. Target loads are light, as you get used, Hunting loads do the same as 12 Ga.

Great talk. Ever think of getting a recurve crossbow, silent kill. Excalibur is the very best.
