Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles first rifle you bought

Used Marlin 336 30-30 in 1974. I put a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4x on it with sight thru mounts. My family convinced me that I needed to hunt with a Remington 742 since everyone we knew did so I sold the 336 and bought a 742 a couple of years later.

Now I do most of my hunting with a Marlin 336 30-30 and the 742 sits in the safe.
