After almost 40 years (Jeez I feel old...) of shooting, I finally got my first lever action - a Marlin 30AS in .30-30 Winchester. Not real thrilled with the color of the birch stock, but very pleased with the quality otherwise.

Now, to work up some loads with the RCBS 180 gr. FN...

I think you'll find the leverguns can be addictive.:)
My very old marlin 'requires' gas checked cast bullets to be accurate,so I'd say don't load to many of anything without test runs first.
enjoy!!

This bullet shoots great in a Krag carbine and an old H&R Topper single-shot so I'm looking forward to trying it in the Marlin.

Welcome to a lifelong addition for me, love all sorts of guns, but always had a soft spot for finger guns.

I have a Glenfield 30-30 with an old (but mint) Weaver 4x mocro trac scope on lay bye. Cain't wait to get it home.
