The 30-30 club, are you in?

I am the proud owner of a Marlin 30-30. Love the gun. Probably never sell it.

Kind of a funny story. Marlin found a crate of old (built in 1984) 30-30s in a warehouse. They had been sitting there for a couple of decades. They didn’t meet the safety standards when they were found, so they shipped the whole crate to Canada. I was fortunate to buy one brand new, still in the packing grease. I love it. Such a great rifle.
I got a 94 in 357 mag from that batch.
 
Just bought my first rifle.
It's a 1969 Winchester 30-30 model 94

Canadian Centennial carbine (matching rifle was stolen), Savage 219 (w/12ga. barrel as well), mid-50' 94, as well as a newly acquired Savage 24 30-30/20ga, and three .32WS 94's. Oh yeah, a Savage 99 TD 30-30, 1920 year. :)
 
This might be a repost... too lazy to go through the thread and check...

Not a very lucky gun for me... I've never even seen a deer when I've had it in my hands.

From 1957

Had an all numbers matching 30-30 1899 Savage dating to 1910 given to me by an uncle this past summer. He originally got it from one of my dad's uncles (one of his mom's brothers). After giving it a thorough cleaning and a minor facelift, but leaving its character pretty much intact, I passed it along to one of my sons along with some details of its history.
A trip to the range showed it still shoots at least as well as I can, using the open sights and my 70+ year old eyes. I'm hoping it stays in the family for some time into the future.
I still have a couple 1950s 94 Winchesters, one in 30-30. and one in .32 Sp. that I plan keep for a bit yet, both very clean and both good shooters ... though neither gets out too often these days.
