I agree with what everyone has said. The 30-30 is a legendary classic rifle. There is just something about a lever gun... It can't be explained... Once you shoot a lever gun, you just fall in love with it...

I love my Marlin 30AS 30-30. It is perfect in the heavy woods and thickets here in Virginia. There is some kind of "vibe factor" to it, where you feel like you are part of a long line of hunters who have used the 30-30 to get a deer for years and years and years....
