[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2284082, member: 118816"] I am probably dating myself, but the first rifle I ever bought was a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. I did that after much research on what was the best cartridge for short range shooting in brush country. As a side note I bought that rifle when I was 16. My Dad and I drove up to Wilmot, Wisconsin to what was a guys front living room converted to a retail outlet. It was called Gander Mountain, which was the local Ski area where ski bunnies and others gathered to go downhill skiing during the snow season. Gander Mountain grew and multiplied for many years as one of the premier hunting and shooting suppliers in the country. That lasted for a long time until others got involved in it's management. Eventually Gander Mountain disappeared only to be bought out by an RV dealer who, despite their best efforts had no clue how to market sporting goods and are in the process of dissolving their offshoot Gander Outdoors, primarily due to mismanagement and going back to RV sales. Any way just me getting my two cents in, wishing that the original Gander Mountain hadn't been eaten alive by those who did not understand firearms and hunting. [/QUOTE]
