I load my 30-30 Handi with Barnes 130 grain TTSX bullets. Recoil is light and the bullets perform flawlessly. Groups 1.2 inch or less, three shots. Barrel has iron sights and a scope mounted. I have killed two deer and a pig in the last couple years with that combo.

It's pretty much a given that any of the rimmed cartridges are very accurate out of the Handi Rifles, with the 30-30 arguably one of the most accurate of the rimmed catridge rifles.   ;)
My culled down Handi's are the 45-70, and then I have a few others to keep it company...357 Mag/Max. .45 LC/.454 Casull Carbine, .243 Ultra, and 20 gauge Tracker II.
