If Moe Bandy is the greatest country singer ever,does that mean the Marlin 336 is the best 30-30?

The very first .30-30 I ever owned was a Winchester model 94. I thought I had bought a what was easily the most classic lever action anybody could buy. Marlin's, I thought, just weren't as stylish. True, it has aesthetic qualities that no gun maker has ever been able to duplicate, but this rifle in particular was about as accurate as a Brown Bess musket of long ago. I took the rifle to the range and set up a target on a large piece of cardboard. at 100 yards. With a box of ammunition, I fired a few shots at the bullseye, went down to check to see where the bullets were striking. I repeated this method--adjusting the sites every time--and after twenty rounds, NOT ONE SHOT had passed through the 2 ft. by 2 ft. piece of cardboard, much the target--NO MATTER HOW I ADJUSTED THE SIGHTS. The rifle was taken to a gun store a few days later and traded in on a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. To this day it is the only brand of lever action rifle I will consider purchasing.

Bob, I like the 94 winchester but I can go with the marlin as well. Moe bandy come on man! You gotta be a hank jr. Man or george jones what about waylon or willie or marty robbins or slim whitman! Dohh! I went to far with slim whitman! Hell you may be right! How could the cow be wrong about all things country and western.

Marlin, in my opinion is the best 30-30 out. You won't be disappointed with this firearm. and thats the bottom line because stone cold said so

Marlin makes the best 30-30 lever, 444 lever, 45-70 lever, etc. They simply put out one reliable, long lived rifle that won't let you down.

Not sure exactly how these two are related, but some dang good arguments can be made for both!
