30/30 Came Today
« on: April 13, 2010, 11:06:39 AM »

I'd been trying to find a 30/30 for a while and came across a like new .308 Handi at a gunshow last month. After a little dickering I got it for $200.That week I sent the receiver, buttstock and forearm to Ilion for a 30/30 barrel. On the 23rd I called to confirm they got the package and to modify the order to add a scope base. They confirmed it had arrived on the 15th. It arrived here today to my surprise. I was expecting to wait till next fall. All was not perfect tho'. They didn't add the scope base. I called and the Rep. said it was noted on my order and must have been overlooked. I'll be getting it next week with no additional shipping charges. I guess I'll just have to try out the iron sights for the next week or so.

That's great, please post in the Ilion Satisfaction poll in the FAQs so this info doesn't get lost.  ;)

thx,

Great combo! The 308 for longer range and the 30-30 for shorter range. I know you will love the 30-30!

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!
