I sure do! I guess I am the poster boy for hunting with a lever gun. For sure it is because my Grandpa handed me his Marlin 336 30.30 made in 1953 that he hunted with. I miss him every day and as a result the Marlin is my most prized possession. I have been very successful with the gun and it really shoots great, especially with the new Hornady LE ammo. A lot of guys in the Carolinas hunt with lever guns, mostly in 30.30 and .35 Rem. I do know some guys that hunt with .45-70s and one that hunts with a .444 Marlin too.
