Another vote here on a low-powered scope. The battery on a red dot scope will go out at the worst possible moment.

The 30-30 is good for stick snakes and such, but I feel a lot better with a 45/70 when tree gnomes and bush goblins are in the area. Remember the thread awhile back about the jack-a-lope attacks? Scary stuff!!

I handled a replica 1860 Henry awhile back, price was $650.00, if I recall. That's a beautiful weapon and it surprised me by being heavier than it looked.
