how many of you still hunt with one? ive be useing 7mm but think im going to try my luck with 30/30 with open sights. Seems deer are always less than a 100yds anyways and i can shoot 2inch groups at that distance

Except for the one time it developed the "Marlin Jam" and I had to sub in a .270, that's all I've ever used. It's not uncommon to drop one dead in its tracks within 100 yards.
