i have a winchester model 94 in 30-30 and a marlin 336 in 30-30. both have killed deer back east, none have killed deer out west.
neither have scopes...open sighted fast handling rifles for the thick woods for the northeast part of the country. solid shooters out to 100 yards IMO.

Marlin 30-30 and Savage .250-3000, both good for deer and coyotes.

Winchester 94 32 Special and a 25-35, and someday soon the 30-30

All of those will and can kill deer.  Nothing wrong with a good old 30-30.  Bone...bud who has died used to hunt with me using a really old 25-35.  Good memories.

My dad just bought a a Marlin 336 in 30-30 from someone on this site.  We took it to the range this weekend and it did awesome.  3 bullets touching at a hundred yards with the Hornady Leverevelution.  It has 3-9x40 Nikon Prostaff scope.  I really like that gun and wish I could have bought it.

I have a savage 99 in 30-30 and its a shooter, my dad has a win in 44 mag that's a great gun too. I've been looking at the marlin big bore's and would love to get a 45-70 guide gun.

I have a winchester model 94 in 30-30 (pre 64) that was my fathers. It has no scope...open sighted. It is a fast handling rifle. I agree it's a solid shooters out to 100 yards. Hope to get a marlin 336 one day.

I have had a few but have sold them. I am a proud new owner of a Marlin 1895 GS 45-70, have not even shot it yet, but it will be my bear & elk gun.

336 Marlin in .30-.30 Best lever action IMHO
