I might be stuck hunting with my 1951 Wrenchester 94 30WCF if the Mdl 88 can't be sighted in..........

I hope deer, black bear, and elk can still be taken with such a useless old calibre

Don't let your ambitions exceed your rifles capabilities. Just stick to rabbits and groundhogs till you can get the big gun up and running.

You know its actually people like you that keep perpetuating the myth that those underpowered antiques are capable of killing real game animals.

That 30-30 is pretty weak. Better take a 44-40 along for backup.

I think maybe you ought to follow the lead of our Govment, and start using a REAL caliber, like that there 223! I hear them things are the best the military has ever seen.

It way out paces that old thuty thuty.

What is the 88 doing? What brand scope did you put on it? I had a brand new scope one time that the scope itself was bad. Talk about going crazy!!

Just don`t tell it it`s only a 30-30, it doesn`t know that.

No need to worry. A buddy of mine who moved here from Montana told me he killed 28 elk with a Model 64 and that was after his dad hunted with the same rifle for many years before that. Shot placement and keep it under 125 or so.

Let's see, little slip of a rifle, handy and nicely balanced, vs. tree trunk... I see no down-side!
