The first smokeless cartridge ever introduced in America in 1894, the .30-30 put more venison on the table and more antlers on the walls than any other caliber. Designed from the get-go for the lever action, it’s been the definitive medium game hunting cartridge ever since. The blued steel Henry Lever Action .30-30 Side Gate is built from the ground up to wring top performance from this respectable cartridge. Handy at just seven pounds, this well-crafted firearm offers excellent accuracy, striking power sufficient to anchor the biggest deer, and moderate recoil thanks to the modest chamber pressure and the rubber recoil pad.
