I have owned a Marlin 336 30 30 for a very long time , I got it as a teenager from my grandpa at around 13 in 1970 and this here little jewel of a saddle gun has provided pleasure for so many over the years its beyond imagination , I have loaned it out to lots of folks that all took deer with it and some were even wall hangers . Several tried to buy it off me but I held onto it until last night .
My son in law has been on the prowl for a very long time in search of an older original version of this little rifle and I guess they are in demand these days and pricey and difficult to find to some degree .
So I presented it to him for Christmas with the one rule in that anything EVER happens between him and my daughter the rifle goes to her, We shook hands on it and its now in his gun safe .
says he is going to take his last deer of the year with it next weekend ....
