Bet you find the rifle long before you find the ammo for it...
Make every shot count, seems like they're not making it anymore.

Don't have the Rem. 788, but do have a Savage Model 340-A, bolt action in 30-30, with one box of various reloads that I might be willing to part with.

Those 788's are a sweet little gem if you can find one. I grew up shooting a 788 in 30-30 that my cousin owned and still kills deer with to this day.

I have 2 788's, one a carbine & one w/ a regular length barrel, both in .243. The are fabulous guns.
However, I shot a buck this year with a old bolt 30-30 I bought at a pawn shop for $125. I think it's a Savage. Not even tapped for a scope. Not the gun a 788 is but decent.

I have a Savage 340 bolt action in 30-30. If you reload, you can use spitzer type bullets and get 300 Savage performance. My favorite for it are Sierra ProHunter 125gr SP.

I don't know if you reload or not, but a 30-06 can be loaded down to 30-30 velocities, with flat-nose points, or even spitzers if you want just a tad better B.C. There is published data for this, Look at the published data for the Sierra 180gr @ 2400-fps-ish.
