Here is a picture of the 2 30-30s I snagged when I was home. The one on the left was my mothers grandpa. I never met him but the story is that he entered in a drawing and won the rifle. He did not hunt. My uncle who does not hunt got the gun and I took it to clean it about 10 years ago. I "forgot" to give it back. Today was the first time I have ever shot it or heard of it being shot. It has some surface rust from sitting in the corner for years. It ran smooth and fired without any issues. I hit paper 2 out of 4 times at 100 yards. The serial number is 2939xxx.
The rifle on the right is my dad's. He got it new when he was in high school. He has never shot a deer with it. I have no clue how many shots he fired through it but I know it has not been fired in the last 12 years. I shot a 5" group with it at 100 today. The serial number is 32555xx
My goal is to load up a few rounds for them and use them at the range while other rifles are cooling down. If I get good enough at 100 yards, I might take one hunting someday.
