30-30 Fan

I decided to go old school this year & hunt deer with my Winchester 94 30-30. It is a angle eject model, so It has a Leupold 2x7 scope.

Thinking back, almost all my BT harvested have been less than 100yds, so I see no disadvantage over my .308 model 700.

No reason why not...I hunted my first 5 years with a Winchester 94 in .32 Winchester Special.  Took 4 deer and 3 elk with that rifle and 170 grain bullets.  Nothing farther than about 90 yards either.  Critters were just as dead as the ones my friend's dad shot with his 375 H&H.

That has always been my favorite choice and the one I wanted first. My dad found me a good deal on a 35 when I was a kid and well. I still don't have one. Spending my money on grand-kids now. I'm never going to get one.

Here's my wifes first deer.

is that a Marlin ?

[Fishnclifff]

Yeh.
I don't like it. I like my son's pre 64 winchester better.
I did find some dry lube that makes the Marlin cycle better.
She likes it and it fits her well. She picked it out.
I load 110gr bullets for her for practice and she shoots the 135 Hornady Leverevolution for deer.

I had a 336w in .30-30 that I bought new when I was 18. It cost $275 then and I sold it for some stupid reason. Now theyre going for alot more. Thats the gun I regret selling the most. I really want another one. There isnt any real reason to have one now because I have other guns that can do the same job, but I still really want one.

Wallmart has the Marlin 336w for $356. I also have many other rifles, but decided to try something differant this year.
