Hello from Scotland
A friend of mine up at the range has a Marlin .30-30 it is the first .30-30 i have ever fired.......and i liked it ! I would go further and say i really loved it almost like a .308 and im sure a Deer would'nt know which gun the .30 cal bullet that hit it came from !
I liked it so much I had a look at the marlin web site and their .30-30 336 rifles....... Nothing like the one i used. For starters the one i used had a straight grip like a guide gun or outfitter and its barrel was very short 16" i believe. On the marlin site they only have curved grips and 20" barrels !
Obvouisly this gun i was using is an older model but it is a real shame that marlin do not make these lovely short .30-30's any more for if they did i think i would get one, it was such a "handy" little rifle.
Why ever did they drop them ? Also any idea how old my mates Marlin is ?
Regards Englander
