Yep, I just bought an old 93 mauser in 7x57. Not because I have any need for it or really any use for it. I bought it only because I have wanted one for a long time. A 6.5x55 Sweed is on my list as well. Don't need it either but I want one. If you want a 30/30AI, you should have one, just that simple. I also want a 92 Win in 256 Win and I have picked up a 92Win a 25cal barrel and a reamer so I will have my 92 in 256W. Life is to short to do things you don't want to do. I hope your 30/30 AI shoots well. Good luck
