re: The old veteran 30-30

My first deer was a big doe on thanksgiving morning i shot offhanded in a clearcut at about 180 yards with the marlin 336. Ive probably killed 40 or so deer with it, and handed it down to my son who shot his first deer with it(a little seven point) with a offhanded shot and his biggest deer another 7 point offhanded. Great shootin gun.
