This is great. Thread still going. 308 vs 3030. Love my 3030 and have shot more whitetail in the NE swamps with it than any other rifle including my GP101 whcih took a nice 180lb 8pt but a 308 will do for whitetails, moose, black bears and everything in between. I guess I'll keep one of each as nothing feels as good in the hand as a 3030 lever with a peep sight stalking whitetail when it's 35 degrees and spitting snow.
