[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 457118, member: 2833"] I've got 3 Marlin leverguns, a model 30 which is a "store brand" version of the 336, A 336T which is the straight stock just like what is shown in 1911Sooner's pic above excpet mine is pre safety and has a Weaver k2.5 scope on it. Both of those are in .30-30. The third is a 1894C which is chamberd for .357mag. and wears a Lyman 66 receiver sight. the 30 is the first gun I ever bought for myself and is not for sale, the other two I would part with for no less than 5X market value. The poor old .30-30 round is so badly mistreated, a 150 or 170 gr bullet from a .30-30 will cleanly kill anything huntable in the Sooner state if you put it in the vitals like you ought to. Step up to the new Hornady Leverevolution stuff and anything in the lower 48 is doable. If you handload the versatility is hard to beat. from 100 gr plinkers that won't shred a rabbit and a 8 year old can comfortably shoot all day for pennies a round all the way up to the SAMMI limit of the cartridge.
