Everyone should own a Win Mod 94 30-30. It's a part of history.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have two of them for sale. Keep in mind that as of about 30 minutes ago, I own 4 and I will never turn lose of two of them.

What are you asking for them?

I have hunted white tail deer with a Marlin mod 30A (30-30 cal) for about a decade. I am very happy with its performance and have had no problems with it.

Watch your ammo, though. .308 will load but not feed, as I found out one still dark morning on my way down a hill years ago. It's larger than 30-30, so it's a bugger to get out of the action, especially in the dark. I learned my lesson and double check my ammo before I leave home and again before I load it.

I have a 45-70 Marlin 1895 Guide Rifle in stainless (unported). The best "brush gun" I ever had.

At the range, I love the looks from others when I touch it off (the 18" barrel is loud, I'm glad its not ported)

I love mine. "Winchester" (read as Uberti Replica) 1873 short rifle in .44 WCF. Though I load for CAS only, one can put together a respectable hunting load. This rifle put many a meal on the table during America's expansion west.

I have the Marlin 336c(30/30) and it makes a great brush gun. It is heavier than the winchester 94 though. I think that's probably why it FEELS like a lighter recoil. I like the smoother action too. If I can ever garner up enough extra spending cash again, I may get me another Marlin but in the 45/70 for a little extra boom.

I have a Winchester 94AE in .44. I love it for under 100yds in brush.

I've been thinking of getting a .30-30 for longer yardage but can't give up on my .270

I have a Marlin model 1895 in 45-70, the one with the 22 inch barrel, blue steel, walnut stock. New safety
The gun is a charming machine. Works perfectly. You can buy the cowboy loads in 45-70 for light duty, and Garret and some other guys make some real stout stuff for dinosaurs, and so on.
Now, Hornady makes their Leverevolution (?) 45-70 ammunition that has pointed bullets. they acheive this by using some high tech polymer for the tips. It increases usable range about 50 yds (I am not an expert!), so you could safely hunt deer out to over 100 yds, maybe 150 with a scope. (Scopes look weird on lever guns,imho). I would think a lever gun with those rounds would be very competitive with the 30-30, but what do I know?
God Bless
