Dont let anyone kid you, it is good to hunt from Rabbits to Bear and possibly Elk if close enough with well placed shot. If you reload you can load 100gr,110gr, 150gr, 170 gr Spear bullets. I am sure that other manufactures may have other weight bullets that can be used as well. My go to rifle has always been my 30-30. I have others that serve other purposes.

To me the 30-30 is the most versitle of the three rifles you listed. I have killed animals from cotton tail rabbit to 250 lb Mule Deer. Just use the right bullet for whatever animal you are hunting.
