First deer I ever shot was with a 336/35 rem topped with a straight 6X scope.I borrowed it for a deer hunting trip when I was 15 years old. The deer dropped like a sack of wheat.That was a long time ago.

I have a bolt action 270 and a pump 308 carbine and both are excellent shooters.The rifle that I'm going use this coming deer season? A newly aquired Marlin 336C in 30-30. It's topped with a 3x9x40 scope, and it's fun to shoot. It shoulders and balances well for me. You can stretch the range of the rifle using Leverevolution ammunition.
