1951 made Marlin.30-30. It belonged to my Grandpa, and he handed it down to me when I turned 12. It brings at least one deer home every year. My 14 year old son has taken two 8 pointers and one 6 pointer with it, since he has been hunting. You couldn’t get $100.00 for it in a pawn shop, but it is priceless to us.
