A True Classic
Date:
Early fall when Cabela\u2019s 50 anniversary addition catalog was received the 30-30 lever action caught my eye. Always wanted \u201cThe\u201d classic white tail rifle.
It features a Cabela\u2019s-exclusive gray-laminate stock and Mossberg\u2019s rust-resistant Marinecote finish. This is one sharp looking rifle, everyone that has seen it agrees. I wanted to go vintage old school, open sights with a 6 shooter strapped to my hip. Well a 5 shooter, S&W 460 XVR.
The following observations have no reflection on Cabela\u2019s quality or their professional online staff; it was shipped promptly to my local dealer with timely updates via phone and EM. Hornady Lever Evolution 160 gr FTX cartridges chosen.
Mossberg needs to review their in house QC/QA procedures with this model! As a recently retired senior manufacturing/tool die automation engineer, the \u201c: what you can\u2019t see\u201d leaves much to be desired. It appears the assembly group just \u201cslapped\u201d these units together to fill production orders and get out the door. If this weapon had be inspected it should have been sent directly back to assembly. Although the outside fit and finish seemed appealing and well thought out, great balance left or right handed the action, on the other hand, was/is rather rough. As received not a hint of even basic lubrication, the action was bone dry. Forget loading the tube with gloved hands; the feed ramp spring action is way to stiff and required adjusting. The ramp would hang up due to misalignment with mainframe housing. The machined edges were sharp and need a slight radius, the cartridge would hang up to the point where you would need a tool of some sort (I used a wooden chop stick) to push the case down to seat. No way to use your finger or the next round with the polymer tip. A visual inspection of the action components revealed no evidence of simple edge deburing or tumbling. A bit of jewelers file work and through cleaning then lubricating with Outers helped smoothen the action quite a bit. Deciding to hunt open sights lets get a feel for this little jewel. Our base practice range is a 60-yard set; I was lucky to punch paper! A laser bore dropped in and ranged at 30 yards. Another QC/QA issue, the sight alignment was \u201chorrid\u201d yes I would expect a slight \u201ctwink\u201d but the elevation need to be lowered as far as it would go AND windage adjusted all the way to the left, just touching the windage stop. A basic go/no gage would help manage this issue. Replacing the front sight \u201cpin\u201d with a high Vis helped immensely with rapid alignment; they just blended together silver on silver. Try again 10, rounds 1\u201d high at 60, all within the take down area out to a 100. Good to go lets put it to use. First day out nice doe at 55 yards. The pros: The triple redundant safety is a bit odd to get accustomed to but well designed. Now a few of you will cringe with this statement; hunting single action revolvers and muzzle loader, I\u2019m accustomed to cocking the hammer any way so \u201cI leave the slide safety hot\u201d when stocking. The lever action safety is a good feature; you would naturally draw it up when setting to trigger. When decocking that\u2019s the \u201cgot to remember\u201d aspect. Good training for the new hunter, get to know all aspects of your firearm by touch, eventually you will be setting up or taking down in the dark. Summary: It is a fantastic appearing weapon. For the price range definitely a worthwhile purchase. You won\u2019t find a Rolex for +/- $500. either. Good quality optics on raised rings would be another quality add. Later in the season my plan is to do just that. If your hunt is brush, thick timber and an occasional \u201clong\u201d shot this the 646 \u201cIS\u201d the way to go.
