Alright guys. I just bought a Marlin 336XLR in .30-30, stainless/laminated stock. I like lever actions but will admit this was an impulse buy. I haven't shot it yet. Its new. 24" barrel. You know the model. I was looking for a 336 in a shorter version, but this was about the same money.
Question is, will the longer barrel give me much with this caliber? It doesn't seem much heavier than the other models. It feels real good on the shoulder. Thoughts?
