My first centerfire rifle was a Glenfield 30A, an inexpensive version of the Marlin 336. Bought it when I was 15 making $1.85 an hour. Killed my first dozen deer with it as well as a bunch of Prairie Dogs loading it single shot with Speer 110 grainer spitzers.
Since then I've picked up a few more including a 1904 94, an early post-64 94, a 94AE, a Savage 325, and a Model 54. The 1904 and '54 are among my all time favorites but that 30A will be with me til I'm 6 feet under.
