Several years ago I had a now deceased friend that shot a Marlin 336 in 30-30 His name, not that it matters was Pat Rodrique and lived in the most northern town in NH., Pittsburg. BTW the Marlin was TOTALLY sightless. He was raised in Canada by the Abenaki Indians He never stood vertical when he hunted. Always bent over. I have never seen a hunter with his skill. We bought him a 1917 Enfield that was really nice. He always opted for the Marlin. No long shots. He always managed to get within bow shooting distance.
There is a difference between hunting and shooting.
I have always enjoyed hunting. Probably because I was raised by hunters. Lucky I am.
Your friend Pat was a hunter.
