Marlin 336, 30-30. Centennial edition, has a brass medallion in the butt. Dad bought it from a co-worker $150, 1981. We had a deal, I bought myself a shotgun, he got me a rifle.
Two years later of mowing lawns and saving my lunch money, I bought a Vanguard in 243. Couldnt afford a scope, Dad got me a Tasco for my birthday.
I own every centerfield rifle I ever ones but 1.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
