I'm interested in buying a lever action, but the only one I have any experience with is my dad's older Winchester 94 that was his grandpa's gun. I want to stick with 30-30 because I enjoy the Winchester, but for the price difference if I'm going to buy a lever gun that I know I'm going to shoot a lot and get dinged when I start hunting in the next year or two, I'm interested in the Mossberg if it is a reliable rifle.
Any experience, good or bad, or even suggestions at other options would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help!
