My fav was an old ( ca 1920s) Stevens tube fed bolt action. It was my uncles and it passed down thru my mom to me in the 50s. I don't know what model, the only ID i recall is a #12 on the barrel. Any guesses?? I then had an Ithaca falling block which I didn't like (I was only 12-13) and later got a Marlin 60 in the early 70s - birch stock that I stripped and finished with many coats of Tung Oil. When I moved to CAN I left all, plus shotguns and handguns due to 'long gun registry'- too much hassels for me to deal with at that time. I now have a Savage 64 ( no one else has admitted this so far!!) that I've done the MCarbo and polished the action. Now wearing a 3-9 40 Brownell, but with a 4x Ruger airgun scope I got 1/2" groups at 25 yards. I've overcome the 'magazine problems' of the 64, and now it's very reliable.
