This and other facts you cite, and the ones previously discussed, leave me increasingly tempted to get the 1892. Plus....I just think it would be fun.

Exactly. I've known guys to hunt deer with a 30-30, but I have a strong preference for 30-06. At any distance, particularly longer ones of course.

At 100 yds (probably less for me), the pistol calibers and "wimpy" .30-30 will dispatch with the same capabilities as the much more powerful .30-06 .... and I don't enjoy shooting "kicking mules" either ;).

Potent at shorter ranges, out of a lightweight rifle, and no sore shoulder either... works for me....

I haven't hunted in 40 years .... no need for long range shots here... I can kill deer by throwing rocks now :D
