LOL ^ how true!

I think the 3 staples in everyones gun cabinet is just like you put it but having a general .22, pump shotgun & Marlin 30/30.

Walmart used to sell them around here before they stopped carrying guns and you could get one for a song and a dance. Lots of em around and darn good rifle too! Can get expensive to shoot but fun on special occasions...

There is and has been in my gun cabinet for a long time!
... as well as the others on your list!

The 22 depends on who you talk to. With over 11 million Marlin Model 60's sold, It could be either a 10/22 or a Model 60

Either way . . . there'll still be a 30-30 and a 22 and it's all good

To this day I wonder why he did that, though I had stopped useing it. He did'nt need the money. LOL It was a Christmas present from him and Mom too !!! LOL
I got my Marlin 30-30 stamped SEARS, in 1962 as a pre-Christmas present. It was my first rifle. Opening day I got my first deer with one shot. Five years later my Dad gave me a 30-06, and gave the 30-30 to my younger brother. And than it was passed on to our youngest brother. In "79" Dad sold the gun, and it was lost! In 2000 I found the man who had it, and had passed it down through his three sons. I got it back on a trade, and have shot three more deer, with one shot each. Now I use other guns, for fear I'll break my run.

The beauty of using a Lever-action to hunt with, is bringing the biggest deer back to camp and hearing someone with a tricked-out Weatherby ask you what you shot it with...then the expression on their face when you pull out ye olde carbine

Inherited the old man's 336 when he passed away, I hadn't seen the gun in 30 some odd year's, last I knew it had been stolen? Anyhow according to my Mom she bought it for him in 1957, gun was manuf. in 1956. It's still a sweet shootin old gun.
