I have a factory model 30s in 257 Robts and just love it - just finished a toe repair and freshening the checkering. Also have a Model 30 in 30-06 AI and a nicely sportered 1917 that I'm considering converting to 300 H&H someday, or maybe I should rebarrel the 30-06 AI to 300 H&H, but then again those are ballistically similar, but then again... Something to think about when I should be focused elsewhere.
