Great. I would not hesitate to use it for whitetail out to 100yrds. Heavy bullet and hot. It shot a little low and right at about 75. Just have to tweak the sights a little and start handloading for it.
I purchased a Marlin Model 30AS in the late '80s in 30-30. It was topped with a simple 4x40(?????) Simmons, and would do MOA. Wish I still had it but we all had guns we wish we never sold heh!!!!! Hummmmmm? My Ruger GP100 in 6"stainless with full underlug barrel also comes to mind. Excellent weapon there as a sidearm.
