# But since this is a discussion on the various rifles for
# use on a rural property, what's wrong with a lever action 30-30?

Ever shoot one? Out of the box it can be very humbling. I took my
model 94 to the range put one round thru it and ... ouch! I tried another
round. Ouch!

The next day at the gunsmith's, I was explaining how I was a wimp and
needed a recoil pad install. He assured me it wasn't just me and said
he didn't know why the 94 doesn't come stock with one.

Unlike the SKS, AR-15, mini-14, 30-Carbine, the 30-30 kicks.
