Couple years later bought a 30-06, then couple more a 300 WM and lastly built a custom 300 RUM said all that to lead up to last 3 yrs. have been hunting with my Dad's Marlin 336 30-30 and have a $3,000 dollar safe queen that I hunt with once per year to justify not selling it. My dad still hunts with me but uses a 30-06 I bought him and just for that reason since he never really liked the gun so I took over his 30-30 that my mom bought for him in 1974. Hunting is more about memories instead of killing as I get older, saw my first deer killed with that 30-30 when I was about 6, it was freezing cold with a little skiff of snow and I was wrapped up in a sleeping bag when dad shot it, still remember running to it sliding in the snow.
