Ben is this one of the newer run rifles?
I believe it is since I think the last run [before it] was only 2 years and come in blue.[98-99?]
the L-S series was a one year thing and come all in stainless [2009 or 13 comes to mind]
The 30-30 has several odd duck characteristics, and yet it usually works great. Get any of the older data and even some of the older bullets and you'll see references or print on the box of the jacketed bullet being .309, not .308. Weird.
