I was at the range today having a grand time with a Marlin 336AS complete with a Tasco Golden Antler 4X scope that has a T. V. shaped view. It shoots about like one would expect, no surprises here. I got to thinking that it had been a while since i had taken a deer with a .30-30. When I got home and looked it up I found that it had been even longer than I had thought, 1999. I assume most of have taken a deer with a .30-30 at one point or another. When was the last time you did? If you never did chime-in anyway.
