Hello,everybody..I`m in Tennessee.I was raised up to hunt for what we eat.I`ve sorta quit hunting .I do quite a lot of shooting at paper in my old age.I was raised up with my Dad`s old 336Marlin 30-30.I shot every thing from ducks to bears with that ole gun..I collect mostly old lever action Winchesters.I`ll always be a fan of Marlins.
