which do you prefer marlin or winchester 30-30

[Dee]

Of course.

Dee, I have always suspected you owned a lot of guns, but the one you love is the one your dad gave you. I have lots of guns I like but the only one my dad ever gave me will always stay with me too. 

After a guy shoots a zillion rounds through a rifle it just fits & feels right. When I was a kid I shot a brick of 22s through it every week for years.  I've killed lots of small game and more than a few hogs with it. Works for me.

Regards,

I like and shoot both, but like some my eyes arnt as good as they used to be and a scope makes it easer to see. Hunt with both but the scoped rifle get's more woods time.

i own eight marlins, in .22 to 45-70 and and nine winchesters in .22 to 45-60 and shoot them all,to me the winchesters are slimmer and lighter for carrying,but the marlin,s are not that bad in that dept. both the winchesters and marlins are accurtt enough for the game hunted. and both come in fun caliburs to big bear medicine, two of my favorits are a early(new model) 95 marlin in 45-70 and a winchester 94 timber carbine in .444 marlin. it all comes down to are you a chevy or ford man. eastbank.

I like the Staggs Bilt 30-30/20 ga as that gives me the best of both worlds....   

To answer your question: Marlin  but I am looking at a Winchester short rifle at the local range....
