Growing up in the '40's and '50's, I watched my dad bring a deer home most years. His only centerfire rifle was a Winchester Model '94. So there was better than a .30-30 chance that I would wind up with one. Owned a pair of '94's built in '43 (my birth year). But now have the 1971 Marlin 336C and a pre-'64 Model 70 FWT in .30-06.
