An old Win. 94 carbine in 30-30 is my only experience with a lever, it has Lyman peep sights. The Marlin 336 seems like a fine rifle, altho heavier. I almost bought a Marlin 95? in 44 mag. years ago, it seemed like a nice little rifle. I use a scoped bolt action 30-06 on longer shots(over 100 yds).

At 100-150 yards takes care of almost everything in North America.

Marlin 30-30.............

30-30 bush rifle that caliber killed more deer in Michigan than anny other

.22 Hi-Power Savage 99

Marlin 336 35 Remington. Big thump.

my order
35 Remington
Marlin 336 .35 rem
Remington 760 .35 rem (pump gun)
32-40
Winchester 1894 saddle ring carbine 32-40
30-30
Winchester 94 might be higher on my list if it didn't jam.

I always wanted a 45/70, have used a 30/30 but just got a browning blr in 243. it seems to be a sweet rifle.

I like the 1908 Winchester 3.0-30 with iron sights
