RE: Marlin 336 or Winchester 94 .30-30?
Both are great Lever Actions. I prefer Bolts myself.Between the Marlin and the Winchester see which ones feels the best to you.I like the pistol grip and the side ejection on the Marlin.Not sure how the new Winchester' s are set up but the Marlin is or was easier for mounting scopes.I' ve owned both at one time and I liked the Marlins better.You might look at the Browning BLR' s.Of course they are going to cost you more then the M & W' s do.It boils down to personal preference and what your billfold will allow.If it were me buying one I would go with the Browning 1st, Marlin 2nd then the Winchester running a close 3rd.
