This is strictly coincidence. I shot my first deer with an old Ruger Deerstalker. One of the tube fed ones. It's what my Dad had, and it fit my small frame. It flattened a running whitetail like a bus.
I've carried Marlin 336's and Win 94's. I think the 94 carries easier, and is faster to shoulder and aim. IMO it sets the bar for any other repeater. The fastest long gun I've ever handled was a single shot break action 20ga. I can't recall the brand. Loaded with slugs, I doubt anything could beat it.
