RE: Marlin 336a 30-30
I agree with everything already said...
The Marlin 30-30 is a legendary rifle, 112 years and still going strong!
It is more rugged than the famed Winchester 94, but both lever guns are equally famous with countless articles written about them. They are truely a piece of American history.
Some people scope their 30-30 rifles, others don't. It all depends on personal preference. I had a scope on mine, but I soon took it off and got used to the plain open sights.
Tell the co-worker that by buying a Marlin 30-30 for her son, she is passing along a tradition and her son will fall in love with the Marlin 30-30 and keep it forever. Possibly passing it on down to his grandson in years to come.

Good point, by getting her son the Marlin 336 she will also more than likely be buying her grandson and possibly even her great grandkid a gift to truely treasure. Not to mention many memories.

In 30-30 lever action guns, the Marlin is probably the best made gun out there.

ORIGINAL: MichaelT.Many deer have fallen to those guns. With the new Hornady leverrevolution ammo it is a solid 150 yard gun. That is with a good scope and in steady hands.

I'm hearing the 30-30 dismissed as a kid's gun, a good starter for the novice - I think this underrates a 30-30 Marlin. I've been shooting for over 30 years, and just got a Marlin. Seems to me to be a perfectly good deer rifle, no caveat required.
It is good-looking, too.
