Ammo availability. Dirt cheap to plink and practice with for those who do not reload. Ballistically roughly equivalent to the .30-30, it becomes a very good deer, black bear, and hog round when topped with the right bullet. I think it's a great idea. Surprised no one has offered this before. Granted, there is the Ruger Mini 30, but many prefer a bolt gun for hunting, and even for plinking.
