Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Who still uses a Marlin or Winchester levergun as their primary deer rifle?

I have been using a Marlin .30-30 since my Grandpa handed his diet to me when I was 12 years old. It is the gun that typically get the starting spot for my hunting season. My 12 year old son took his first deer (8 pointer) with it this year. That was a proud moment that I will never forget. My daughter got her first deer with it as well. Another proud moment!!!!! My Marlin was made in 1951, the year my parents were born. It functions perfectly and a pretty darn accurate rifle. It is my most prized possession, and I will be honored to pass it on to my kids.
