went to the gun show

I had a Marlin in .35 Rem too and they pack a serious wallop at close range, more so at 100-150 yards than a 30-30. Great rifle!

For sure, I bought mine from my dad, he bought it new when he was a kid in the early 60's, he only put three boxes of shells through it since he was always busy. Very solid gun, and yes :) leaves quite a hole in whatever your aiming at, good brush gun.
