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.
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 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.
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
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.
