Default marlin 30-30

i was visiting the grandparents this past weekend and we decided to do a little bit of shooting an gramp said he had something for me to try. so of coursei said sure and he brought out an old lever action 30-30. it was a revelation lever action 30-30 put out by western auto supply quite some time ago. he had nearly forgotten he had it. said he took it on a deer trip out to the bottom of devils tower back in the 70's and gave it to the host and his wife out there. well the man just died back in august and the wife being 93 herself decided to move into town. so as it goes she was going through stuff and came across that old 30-30. so she mailed it back to him with the picture from that years deer hunt. so loaded her up and shot a bit. i had shot minimul lever actiions beforebut never really got to "test" one. this gun amazed me. iron sights at 50yrds. first 6 shots in the bullseye. i thought this cant be right, went out to 75 missed wide right with one but 5 still in. ok well the real topic of this post. has anyone used the marlin 336c? i was looking and comparing and the 2 guns are nearly identical. any info pro or con is great. thanks.
p.s. that old picture is now hanging above my bed in an old hand made walnut frame made by gramp out of the tree from the old farm when he was 9.
