wow! you make me jealous! im 14 and i have 4 guns. i cant wait to get a job and start adding to my collection! is the second golden gun with an octagon barrel a henry? its reaaal nice. i am yet to own a lever gun. i was looking into marlins, that or winchester. what do you prefer? i want a 30-30. i sw marlin makes a model 1984, i like it but i think the shell ejects from the top? unlike their 336C models. both brands have been around awhile and seem to make quality guns, i have a marlin xl7 .270. and for only paying 350$ you would be suprised. it shoots just as well as my dads m77 ruger 7mm.
