[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1826643, member: 69192"] My preference would be the Marlin 336 in 30-30. I prefer that Marlin over the Winchester for purposes of scoping if you desire to do so in the future. I know that you wrote in your OP that you are not sure about scoping, however I can only say that I never thought my eyes would fail, "until" they did and now a scope is essential for me to shoot well. I also have a Browning BLR that is a real shooter, with a box magazine not tubular; a lot easier to load and unload. I think it is lighter then the Winchester or the Marlin, and the BLR comes in some really neat cartridges capable of taking just about anything that one would want to hunt in this country. My scoped BLR in .308 Winchester will shoot clover leafs at 100 yards. I've read that the big-bore Henry rifles have had trouble with their tubular magazines galling up due to the brass on brass, but no first-hand experience with them. If you have a fondness of the Winchester model 94 you cannot go wrong with one, my preference is the Marlin. Good luck with what you purchase. [/QUOTE]
