Killed by first deer with one in a Marlin 336 given to me for my 12th Christmas, still have the little gun and used to take it out a couple of days every season. Mounted a 2-1/2 Leupy on it last year in anticipation of using but stuck to the 7mm-08. May have to take it out this year.

They are great little guns that kill quick and easy on the shoulder. Load mine now with the 170 partition though in the past the Rem 170 Corelokts and Winchester 170 RN's have worked just as well.
