I am in the process of getting my FOID, it should all work out and i'll have it in a little while...

Looking for ideas of my first gun.. looking at something around a 30-30 caliber, preferably bolt action..


Im not familar with makes or models, but have been told to look into Savage and Marlin..


Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated
 
here's a pic of the Savage i told you about. Savage 116 weather warrior series, stainless finish, black synthetic stock, left hand bolt, an Accutrigger.

savage's accutrigger has adjustable pull, from like 2-6lbs i think. this is a very nice feature

Why 30-30?

Most 30-30's are in a lever action rifle.

A 30-30 is a deer gun period, ammo WAY too expensive to shoot recreationally and horribly innacurate.

First of all, move out of IL and into a state where youre freedoms are still given to you and you wont have to deal with that FOID bull shnit!
 
a 30-30 is a lever action not bolt action

you mean a 30 caliber? you sound like you definitley need to do some research
 
Like said above what is the gun for ???
30-30 is fine but another option is a 30-06..
you can get ammo at almost anywhere for both guns..
I have a Savage 270wsm and love it.
 
yeah my gun pictured above is .30-06. thats why i chose this caliber. ammo is cheap and sold everywhere
 
Yeah I'd go with a 30.06 or .308 if I were you. I have a Winchster Model 70 30.06 that I love. Another idea would be a Remington 700.

a FOID doubles as a state ID...
so if i ever get (and suequently forget) a ticket..

or need to scare the crap out of a bartender, lol



i'm a total noob to guns.. i just picked a 30-30 cause it's a round im somewhat familiar with

we (my dad) has a few guns and just picked up a 30-30 winchester (john wayne's gun) he has a .22 (too weak, but fun) and an AR 15 (fine but a little too much for using on schnitz and giggles)

this is mostly a range gun, but i may go out hunting/pigeon shooting or something the more and more familar i get with the world of guns

in time i suppose it'll double as home security, but i'll prolly get a hand gun when that time comes around


honestly any advise towards a mid caliber bolt action rifle would well appreciate, jcardona i really want to thank you again...
