ORIGINAL: Some Beach

I'm considering a Marlin 30as 30-30 w/Tasco scope. Anyone here have 1st hand experience with this rifle? Does anyone know what the market price might be (only shot a handful of rounds). I'm wanting to shoot whitetail in TX.

Thanks
Marlin lever action rifles are nice guns. Tasco scopes suck! The .30/30 is plenty of rifle for those collie-dog sized whitetails in Central Texas! ("Everything is bigger in TX-except the Central Texas deer.")

For ranges at which the .30/30 is effective, if you want the Marlin 336 rifle, I'd choose one chambered for.35 Remington instead.
