I recently picked up a Marlin 336 A waffle top {suffix G} in mint condition. Chambered in 30-30. I only paid $225.00 for it total. Gorgeous rifle. Much tighter than my 1894 Winnie and I paid much less for it. I'm a sucker for levers and exposed hammers however. They both have their merits. [:)][8D]
Try finding a Marlin 30TK. It's a short, compact carbine that handles great and very accurate with 18.5" barrel. I have one and I love it. If you can't find the TK, try tracking down a Texan model. You WILL NOT regret it.

Yup.
You painted a pretty broad stroke about "garbage gun" and "garbage round".
After well over 100 years of killing more deer than any other round and fired from the iconic 1894 Winchester, Various Marlins, and of course the 1899 Savage. If you think those guns were garbage.......well, you certainly no little to nothing about them.
IN my humble opinion I wouldn't buy a Win or Marlin UNLESS it was built pre 1978. Have owned a Marlin 36 which is heavier than the Win 94 and it was a nice lever gun but ended up trading for a Remington 700 25-06 then sold that when we inherited 2 Win 94's. One was a 1968 and well used and the other a 1979 NIB and still had the Target sales tag on the lever. I'd probably go Marlin if I was in the market but the 94 is no slouch either. The .30-30 is a great all purpose round.

just get a marlin and be done
+1. I have a Glenfield (Marlin) 30A ...
+2. I also have a Glenfield. I have owned it (it was used when I bought it) for over 20 years. I gave a $100 bill for it. Some of the best money I ever spent on a rifle.

You've been given some good optins now it's time to ante-up and roll the dice.

Make that a pre-Remington Marlin.
Garbage round, garbage gun!
Spoken like a Man that has little to no knowledge about hunting.

Flat out unAmerican not owning a 30-30 lever action.
I know....exactly the reason I am getting one. [:)]
I have hunted with my grandpa's old 30-30 many times in the thick WI brush. I want one for myself for the same reasons.

I have 'many'! My personal preference is the presafety Marlins!!![8D]
Both have some character to them.
Win 94 30-30 & Rossi 357

I am going to have to look into one of the Rossi 357's![^][8D]

It's a fun gun. Bought that one used off the Auction Side. Still need to strip the black paint of the stocks and refinish them.
