Marlin 30 30 Winchester Lever Action

No firearm embodies American heritage like the lever-action rifle. This quintessential part of our nation's history wasn't forgotten in the 19th century, however. Brands like Henry Repeating Arms and Rossi have brought this classic design to the modern era. Explore our .30-30 lever-actions for sale and order your .30-30 Winchester rifle from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

Iconic Rifles Chambered for a Classic Caliber

It's fitting that these lever-action rifles are chambered for .30-30, the first smokeless powder cartridge developed for the Winchester 1894 in 1895. Even over a century later, this cartridge remains the most popular caliber for repeating rifles. It's reliable, packs more power than other cartridges (such as .357 Magnum), and produces less recoil.

While our Winchester .30-30 lever-actions for sale can be used for a variety of purposes, the most is hunting. While they aren't meant for taking down giant, tough game like Kodak bears or bison, they're extremely effective against deer, elk, and even moose. For a handgun caliber designed for that bigger game, hunters prefer lever-action rifles chambered for larger calibers, such as .44 Magnum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the .30-30 Winchester so popular with hunters?

There are a few reasons why .30-30 is such a popular cartridge for hunters. No, it doesn't have the best long-range accuracy compared to some alternatives, such as .243 Winchester. However, it produces much lower recoil than most 150-grain cartridges, is extremely common, and is famous for doing minimal excess damage to the game you took down. All of this together makes for a perfect bush gun cartridge for deer hunters camped out in woods and meadows.

What are the advantages of a lever-action rifle?

Our .30-30 lever-actions for sale have practical, legal, and aesthetic advantages over other firearms. They have a very simple mechanism for chambering rounds, are easy to control and aim, and come chambered for the most common large handgun calibers. Legally, their small round capacity, manual action, and effectiveness only at close range means that most states are fine with stock lever actions for both self-defense and hunting season. Finally, most owners of these rifles agree on one thing: they look classic and are fun to shoot.

Is .30-30 more powerful than .350 Legend?

The .30-30, now over a century old, is actually about on par with the .350 Legend, a 21st-century cartridge often found on AR-15 rifles. Each has its own advantages. The .30-30 Winchester has slightly less bullet drop, a higher ballistic coefficient, and more stopping power. The .350 Legend has slightly less recoil, meaning hunters can quickly get back on target if they miss their first shot.
