I've often thought it would be a very fine rifle with few action mods., a great barrel and first class stocking. I'm just dumb lucky to have the sidelever.

The .30-40 has done very well for me, and for Ed Webber, in N. Am. and Africa.I don't even load it nearly as hot as I could, just very accurate loads at about 2400 fps. and 180 Noslers.
