Our steel-framed Wildlife editions in two of America's longest-lived hunting calibers, the same 30-30 that our brass Wildlife rifles are chambered for. Like their brass cousins, these steel-framed models acknowledge a long history of hunting, and the lever action's well-earned place in it for over 150 years. More subdued, with blued steel frames and furniture, they're also lighter in weight for long days on foot through dense brush and high mountain terrain. Steel weighs less than our hardened brass material, and the round barrels here also reduce weight for a trimmer hunting package that loses nothing in performance in the field. The H009WL in 30-30 sets off its straight-wristed walnut stock with checkering fore and aft, and replaces the brass buttplate with a black rubber recoil pad. On top, the frame is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the 20 inches barrel is fitted with a semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front blade. Sling swivel studs and our centerfire in-hammer transfer bar make for convenient and safe carry with the hammer down on a loaded chamber, ready for cocking on a fast shot if you need one, with five rounds standing by in the magazine. The steel Wildlife 30-30 carries over the same engraving patterns of the brass version, with American vine, scroll, and braided borders surrounding a circular buck's head portrait in 24 K gold relief on the right side behind the ejection port, and an oval-framed leaping buck on the left. Other sections are also accented in gold.
