I'd vote for the TC carbine also, but not in .30-30. Nothing wrong with the .30-30, except the recoil. I bought my son-in-law a .243 and he took a beautiful buck with it at a little over 300 yds. The .243 is a great deer cartridge that will double as a varmint round in the off season. The recoil is low, and the killing power is more than adequate for deer.
Available bullet selection is good whether you reload or not. You can get them as light as 75 grs, and as heavy as 135 grs., and everything inbetween. The ammo is reasonable, and on sale every fall!
