Long Ranger Thought

[North Country Gal]

I'm not in the market for another firearm of any type but that could change in a heartbeat .. .. in thinking about it, if Henry was to add a 30-30 to their clip fed Long Ranger line, I would be very interested .... as a reloader, being able to load a 30-30 with any shape/style 30 caliber bullet is most appealing ..... for me it would pump new life in a classic cartridge

Just a thought, but you may have more luck convincing Henry to add the 30-30 to their new single shots. Makes more sense there and it gets you the same potential for using spire points. I'ver shot a Contender pistol with a 30-30 barrel for years using 120 and 130 grain spire points.

understood and agree .... unfortunately, outside of a classic Winchester 94 type lever action, there isn't much of a market for 30-30 .... the capability of 308 has pretty much guaranteed it .... I also suspect that the market for a single shot 30-30 would be very small .... my bet is your Contender is a very capable firearm ....

Another thing is that 308 brass is the next most common brass laying on the floor at the range after the ubiquitous 5.56. I rarely see 30-30 brass available.
