I must of been around 13 when I bought my Glenfield at Fed-Mart for around $58. I then picked up a Lee Loader and enough reloading supplies to start out. That was before I went to spend the summer at my grandparents in the country just outside of Grey Ga. I even made some loads using the powder from 3 or 4 .22LR cartridges( I didn't have any Bullseye pdr), with tissue paper filler and 4 #1 buck pellets. Three would be held by the neck and since the 30-30 had such a taper in its shoulder I felt the 4th sitting on the tissue paper right behind the 3 in the neck would be fine too.  They grouped pretty good, I thought. I found a bandolier of M2 AP hanging in a closet. I pulled bullets with pliers, and I knew the powder they used would be too slow for the 30-30. So I didn't measure, I just filled up the 30-30 case with that -06 power and tapped out enough to seat one of those AP bullets just to the shoulder. I knew to only single load pointy bullets so that's what I did. One of those AP bullets would go right through a pine tree 12 in or so in dia. But it made quite a fireball too. I knew that powder was too slow.

I loved that Glenfield.

@Elderberry I lucked into mine at the Cabela's in Denver.  1991 Model.  Action is smooth and it's a straight shooter.  It was one of only three 30-30 rifles I could fine between Colorado Springs and Denver this summer.

It must have been around 1966 when I picked mine up. I didn't have it long at all before I mounted a William's Fool Proof peep sight on it. After that gun I've put a Fool Proof on all my rifles that I didn't scope. I even put a peep sight on my flintlock, but it was a tang mounted folding sight. And I've never scoped a lever gun.

I'm thinking of putting a picatinny rail on the top of the receiver of mine...it comes with a built in ghost ring sight.
