    Loaded properly,in the proper action,a 30-30Win is quite a bit more powerful than a X39 in ANY action.
    What it will kill,at what range is not going to be argued/ discussed by me.
    Except that - -> a Mini-30 will humanely kill any animal in the state of Fla. at the "normal" ranges hunted here.
    Down power line ROW's at 600 yds - -> NO. Across vast peanut fields - -> NO.
    Shooters,hunters,use you noggin. But for thick brush,needing quick follow up shots,either with a small red/green dot or a 1" Leupold 1-4X24,heavy duplex,perfect.
    I had one for years. Wish I still had it. Used it in the river swamp out of my boat. Killed plenty of hogs with it. ---- SAWMAN
