It's a wrap. Scored the circa 1989 blue light special 30-30 Guide Gun, aka Marlin 30TK for the win, and what is for now the only centerfire levergun I intend to own.
I just couldn't justify spendin a G for a 1894c in 357 for a little carbine that I might want to drag through the muck, and less power too.
.
This thing is pretty sweet. Straight stock, 2/3rds mag tube, and 18.5" barrel. Probably about six pounds bare and the same length as my 20" barreled 39M. The trigger might need some attention as it's a little heavy. Got a few of scuffs on the birchwood, but looks barely used otherwise.
Came with a Hubble, but I'm thinkin 1-4x20 turkey plex.
This is actually my third Marlin 30-30. First a '76 336 RC, then a cherry '67 Texan, and now this little jewel. I think it'll make a great combo plinker/hunter. Might even try some long range lobs just for fun.
