A Marlin 30AS (in 30/30 of course) was the first gun I ever owned. Gave it to a friend a few years back to help him get into hunting. Then I bought another Marlin, this time a 1950's vintage rifle with 24" barrel, but have never hunted with it, although where I hunt (150yd max shots), I wouldn't hesitate ot use it.
 
I was told years ago that you never had a gun collection unless you had at least 1 30-30 in it. Well this is mine:

Some day, I'm going to find an old Winchester Bolt gun in 30-30. I heard a few were made in the 50's. Right now I have no $, but when that day comes, I'll have to do some scratching. Very accurate according to what I heard.
 
I have had a few 94's in 30-30 as well as a Savage 340 bolt and Savage 24 30-30/20GA.

I currently don't own a 30-30 at the moment, but once I get settled after the upcoming move, I will be on the hunt for another. Probably a Trapper.:)

I got an H&R Handi 30-30 for my son and ended up using it more than he did. Nice and light and the ability to use spire points made it a nice deer rifle. i used 130 gr Hornady bullets over a stiff load of 3031 powder.
 
I have two, pre and post 64 model 94's.
Love them both. The post 64 was my first rifle, bought it of my grandfather and he won it in a raffle at the Lindsay fair. The pre 64 is my dads, the stories it could tell.
