Haha, thanks for the welcome, bro. I plan on staying.

And I totally agree. The 30-30 is just not meant for a scope. I mean... it's an old western style gun!

The only reason I'm asking is because of the new LeverEvolution. If I get into that (and if it is all that people make it out to be), then I may need a scope on the 30-30 (when I get one, which I'm hoping will be this week). For now, though, I'll be making my shots on 20 acres of wooded property. So, I don't think I'll need a scope, and I don't think I'll need anything bigger then a 30-30.

BTW, nice looking gun.

Also, my last question is, what would you guys recommend out of a Marlin model 336W and a Marlin model 336C?
