I have an old Marlin 336 in 30-30 sold as a Western Field. I got it already scoped at a gun show for a pretty good price.
It's my deer rifle. I live in a hilly part of the country, and my max shot is going to be about 200 yards, which is fine since my 50+ year old eyes ain't what they used to be.
If all goes as planned, I'm about to get a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington from my wife's uncle's estate. I won't get rid of this gun, except under the most dire of circumstances. If I don't like it for some reason, I'll keep it for one of my kids.
If I like it, I'm going to use it. I'm thinking of putting a peep sight on it, since the scope on my 30-30 is kind of cumbersome.
I guess my question is, will I like it? I don't know anything about the round, so I don't know what to expect. My other rifles include an M-1 and a couple of Mosins, so big bang doesn't bother me.
