I took my first deer with my grandfathers Winchester M94. So I have always had a soft spot for the 30-30. Got a Marlin 336 in my early 20’s and I personally prefer it over the Winchester. I have not been without a 30-30 since. I would say 95% of my hunting is done with a Marlin 336 in 30-30 topped with a Japanese made Simmons 4x scope. Absolutely love that combo.
