My 307 was significantly heavier than a 30-30 `94 so it lost in the light and handy department.
It would push 170 grain bullets to just about 2400 fps; much better than a 30-30 with both using flat point soft points. When compared, however, to a 308 using 165 grain spitzers it's significantly shorter on power and range.
To my way of thinking, that meant it lost some in the versatility department also.
I replaced my Big Bore with a Savage 99 in 308 and haven't looked back.
