[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 388414, member: 1351"] My first rifle was a marlin 336 in 30-30. est 1870. I was just a newly legal shooting age teen a million years ago in northern MN in the 1970's. My dad showed me the ropes. There was no such thing as shelter belts where we hunted. 80-100 yards was considered a long shot as visibility for that far away was non existent .Big woods.I shot my first deer....a HUGE, record breaking deer. It was a doe. biggest of all time.. according to me. haha ha.. at like 30 yards. I was King for a day after my first deer!! Kinda like a person's first of something else! hahaha Fast forward about 20 yrs ago, a buddy of mine said ..he would give me a Weaver Marksmen 4X for my beloved 30-30. Told him..hell yeah..lets put a scope on that thing..hahha. Ended up giving him a few dozen Northwind sock decoys in trade as I didn't want him to just give me a scope. Ended up using that rifle for a few more deer thru the years...just because. Fond memories of that 30-30 that I will surely pass on to whomever I pass it on to. At the end of the day. I am glad my dad taught me, not only about hunting and fishing and camping, but also about life in general. Although it has been some-time since you passed, you were a great teacher! [/QUOTE]
