Marlin
I have owned one for the last 33 years. It has been trouble free and has taken a number of Maine deer. Whoever says the 30/30 Marlin is underpowered is talking out their butts. With in a 150 yds it does just fine. I have seen wild pigs taken with them also. Just try different brands of ammo until you find one the gun likes. If you check out Dicks sporting goods they occasionally put them on sale for the price of used.
