Which 30-30 would you get?

nc.hunter · 05-05-2008, 02:58 PM

Hey guys here are two very good looking 30-30's and neither are really expensive, so which rifle do you choose?

Lng Rng · 05-05-2008, 03:11 PM

You can't go wrong with a Marlin lever.

Midas · 05-05-2008, 03:13 PM

Marlin is the only way to go

Asphalt Cowboy · 05-05-2008, 05:23 PM

Hands down, the Marlin. The one I had seemed to have a meat radar, couldn't miss if I tried.

Cyrille · 05-05-2008, 05:30 PM

I have one, a Marlin bought about 30 sum odd years ago darn good rifle, havent missed a deer with it yet! oh yeah, iron sights only

Bravo · 05-05-2008, 05:35 PM

Marlin all the way.

I've been using mine for the past few years during deer season, and now with the new Hornady Ballistic Tip 30-30 ammo, I'll be using it for a lot longer.

I've got a fixed power 3x scope mounted on mine.

jimkim · 05-05-2008, 05:39 PM

Marlin all the way. Mine has an old Williams peep sight on it. That's ok right? Cyrille.Lol
I know mine didn't feel right with a scope on it. Didn't look right either.

I had a Mossberg 30/30, Very nice rifle, but, the Marlin with the "micro-groove" barrel is more accurate.

HENRY LEVER ACTION 30/30

Seven© · 05-05-2008, 11:52 PM

Marlin. Marlin Firearms: XLR Series : 336

JohnBlaze · 05-06-2008, 12:21 AM

i saw the title and I thought the Poll would compare the Winchester 94 to the Marlin 336.

I was surprised to see Mossberg on here, I think Winchester is more comp for the Marlin.

I myself was wanting to buy a Winchester 94 for the longest time. My friend had one, and I borrowed it for a day of shooting cans. The top eject got on my nerves quickly, and when I bought the Marlin 336 I fell in love. It is hands down the best affordable .30-30.

ArkansasHunter · 05-06-2008, 12:27 AM

The Mossberg is to new, though I wish them success with there new leveraction 30-30. If I were buying a 30-30 it would be a Marlin.
I'ved owned 2 of them and I wish I had kept my first one because it was my first centerfire rifle when I was a kid.

Lastly there a pleasure to carry and they fit me perfectly and I own a Marlin in another caliber...A.H

andrew cochran · 05-06-2008, 10:48 AM

Henry .30/30 Lever action but I wouldn't knock Marlin or Mossberg both nice guns.

turner · 05-09-2008, 11:44 AM

I believe I'd go a tad higher and snatch up a Marlin .308MX. It's performance in a traditional lever gun is unequaled in other traditional lever rifles, other than the big bore levers.

Mike Franklin · 05-09-2008, 11:53 AM

The Marlin. BTW, the Henry's have more problems over the long run. I shoot SASS and every shoot a Henry breaks down.

Oxford · 05-09-2008, 11:55 AM

I have the Winchester 94...but would like to have a Marlin, too.

runfiverun · 05-09-2008, 11:58 AM

since i shoot cast bullets it will be the mossburg, unless i find a 94or64 first.

stalebiscuit · 05-09-2008, 02:04 PM

my winchester 94 is all the gun i need.....you can find them in pawn shops for around 299 or less
