I do love a good .30/30 and the reason is that they just plain work. You should be proud of your wife for taking a nice buck. My son and I have taken deer this season with two different Marlins. A 1948 waffle top with iron sights and a 2003 shorty 336Y. My 170 grain handloads.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Congrats to both of you. My Marlin 30-30 likes those 150 gr. Sierra FN's too; except it likes 170 gr. Hornady Interlock FP's with some Leverevolution even better. So that's my go to hunting load for woods hunting. Now if I could just get my wife interested in deer hunting...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
My wife killed a spike when she was a kid just to show her older brother she could. Had a shoulder mount done so he wouldn’t forget. She hasn’t been hunting since. She does target shoot and loves shooting clay pigeons. She isn’t against hunting at all; just has no interest in it.
