I'm looking at adding another rifle to my safe. I have a Marlin 1895G I want to add another levergun. I know both will kill a deer and the .30-30 has a slight on paper advantage. The .357 mag will be cheaper to shoot even if I reload both. I'm leaning towards the .357 for the fun factor. So which do you think or which has more fun factor for you?

My Marlin 336 in 30-30 is an old standard....I have spent many hours on the range with it loaded with hard cast gas checked 170 grain rounds it is a hoot to shoot and costs about the same as a .357 to shoot. I found a jacketed load that redefines the rifle however. Sierra 124 gr flat nose jacketed bullets and IMR 4064 makes that rifle shoot flat and hit hard. My daughter loves to shoot at water filled milk jugs with it, launching them high in the air using a Williams 5D peep sight.
