I'm like jwall,
except I still have mine.
A 100 year gun from Marlin with a coin factory embedded in the stock.
Killed my first buck with it.
30_30's were for kids, I mowed lawns and skipped school lunches to buy a 243.
Much better range, ya know.
35 years and a bunch of guns, deer, and two elk later,
there were only a couple of those deer that would have overly challenged that Marlin.
