I use the Marlin lever in 35 remington when hunting the swamp. Has worked good for 50 years.
I have the envie for a 30-30 for some reason, maybe because dad had an affection for them............
Any of you guys still using for deer hunting?
I seem to remember the guys at one club using the 30-30 with scopes mounts where you could shoot open sight or scope...........is that my imagination
