I’m 6 months into retirement, and it is time to start having a little fun and pick up a few toys - toys that could always be put into serious use if need be. A few questions....

1) I will likely start with a lever gun - with 30-30 being the likely caliber. Researching has brought up problems associated with carrier misfeeds - at least with Marlins and Winchesters. Rare, but of concern to a function freak like me:). Nothing I could find about this occurring with Henrys.
Any comments to this??????

2). Second rifle will be a short 308, scout type. Looking at either a Ruger GSR or a Savage 110 Scout.
