    Finally Have a Lever Action

    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.

    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.
