[QUOTE="jmaars, post: 2268115, member: 28797"] I killed my first deer with my first new gun, A Marlin 336c in 30-30 back in the 70's. Played with it over the years before I stepped up to the Rem Mod 700 270. I killed a lot of deer with it. I had everything mounted on it from tip off mounts, regular mounts high rise see through mounts and of course open sights. When I quit fooling with it I was shooting 1 in groups with reloads??? I thought pretty good out of that little rifle. Well as we all do sometimes, I sold it. Dont know why or to who but have been kicking myself ever since. I went to a gun show a few years back and saw a 336cs in 35 rem and bought it. Just the closest thing I had seen in a while like I had, a little newer with the cross safety. I think the 35 rem is a better round anyway. I thought It would make a good hog gun. So far Ive had open sights, Peep sights, 1-6 scope, red dot, and so far havent fired it!! I would recommend the 336 in 30-30 or 35 rem if you can find one if nothin else but for the scope option. The 94 Winchester is of course a fine weapon as well. I have that gun in a NRA centennial musket and a rifle both in 30-30 and of course unfired with boxes. I would buy either of these that you could find because they will never loose value and they are good shooters as well. Dont know anything about the newer ones though. After all, Its all about the Memories!! [/QUOTE]
