I just bought a Mossberg 464 rifle with the straight grip in 30/30. It looks just like my Winchester 45LC. I plan on scoping it with either a Leupold 2 -7X or 4x scope. Has anyone tried the Leverevolution rounds from Hornaday in their 30/30? ;D

That Mossberg is a fine rifle, congrats. Mossberg really stepped in the $hit when they started producing the 464. Little did they know at the time that right down the road Winchester would stop producing the Model 94 immediately eliminating a competitor. Sorry, but I've never tried the LeverEvolution ammo in anything other than a 45/70. Don

They did good in my .44 rem mag. I havent tried them in my .30-30. I just cant justify putting my point of aim 3" high at 100yds so that it is dead in at 200yds. I would rather aim 3" high at 200yds and be dead on at 100yd. Of course, I dont shoot past 150 with my .30-30 anyway so that kinda beats the purpose.

I think everyone should own a lever action whatever the caliber you choose. That is why I am kicking myself for selling my Winchester Model 94 about 7 years ago. The reason I sold it was I could not mount a scope on it the way I wanted to due to how the shell ejected. Man did I make a mistake. Yup...I am a MORON

I had to take and rotate my scope so that my windage was elevation and my elevation so that it was windage. This let the shell clear the scope. It also make you think when having to sight in.

Statelinrut, get out your check book, go to Wallyworld and give them $300 for a new Marlin 336. You know you need one!
