i actually just found a used one for $350 that has a scope with it...it has some rust on the barrel but very good condition of the wood...

this is the model




i have heard about issues with the ejection port being on top vice on the side in other brands...


think it is a good buy? I hav enever had a lever action but want one real bad...i looked at the Marlin 336 but that bitch is a heavy gun...and it is $100 dollars more with no scope...

I also believe it has a lot to do with the cowboys shooting the native Americans with 30-30's. It hurts my heart every time I see one.

Top ejection just sucks if you don't want open sights. The scope in that picture is probably a side-mount. It's hard to tell from the pic.

Clames, I want to help you, but I can't. The .30-30 is not a good caliber for 200+ yard shooting. It'll do it, but it shouldn't be asked to do it. Just like a .45-70 shouldnt be asked to kill buffalo at 500 yards.
