I would never tout it as a best design for a big game rifle, but the Martini Cadet action can be made into a very attractive custom rifle chambered for the .30-30 family of cartridges or one of the wildcat .24 or .25 caliber cartridges based on the .222 family of cases. The .30-30 family of cartridges are fully capable of taking deer or black bear and were often employed to take much larger game back when they were state of art and the advent of modern bullets and powders enhances their performance. The Cadet action is a good more attractive than the full sized Martini action, at least to my eyes, being shorter and trimmer. With nice wood and engraving, it can be made into a rifle that makes its owner proud.
