The 30/30......

RE: The 30/30......
the 30/30 is all ill use in the deer woods! every deer ive shot with it has dropped in its tracks. I killed 5 deer with it this yr. I think those high caliber rifles are overkill too. I have 2 of them, the marlin. and the winchester. And you bet my boy will be carrying 1 of them when hes ready....

Seems that the everyone is shooting big calibers for whitetail.

First thing I did when I got me my marlin was take that freakin scope off. Never could figure out why people put a scope on a short range rifle, including a muzzleloader. A 30-30 maybe kinda like a shot gun where you point and aim and then shoot as opposed to tring to find a close range critter in the scope.

Congrats and nice pics retrieverman. I have an old Marlin 336C that I bought new in 1973. I hunted with it for years before refinishing the stock and adding a scope. It still looks almost new and shoots as good as ever. I've been using a .270 in the past few seasons but the 30-30 is still my favorite.
