A handsome, and I suspect handy, combo. Larry's right: a single shot .30-30 with a longish barrel can be handloaded right out of the "brush rifle" category into much better ballistics, wound effects, and accuracy than yo grandaddy's thutty-thutty!

I don't know much German and have learned not to guess at gun markings (Don't ask how!). Can anybody translate "Spezial Laufstall" and "Rochumer Verein" for me?
