First was a Western Auto version of a Marlin 336 in 30-30. Bought it from a friend who needed money. I never hunted with it before I traded it for something else. First that I bought and hunted with was a Rem 710 in 30-06. Killed a few deer with it before I won a Ruger M77 in a raffle. Once I discovered what a nice rifle was, the 710 got traded off as well and I've never missed it. Gave the Ruger to my Dad for Christmas a few years back, so it's still in the family.


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
