Good on ya Adam. Post the pics here too!!
My first centerfire was an old Savage 30-30 bolt action. It shot somewhere around 3', yes three foot, groups at 50 yrds. Coudnt hit squat with that gun.
Finally, dad got me a Marlin 336C. Now, it would shoot. After the Savage, I thought it was sniper material.

Had me a good ole cheapy Bushnell mounted on er with the high mounts so I could use the iorn sights in brush. I loved it. But, when I got a little older, I wanted a faster rifle, just because everyone else had one.
I wish I never would have sold that gun. I have been wanting one for the last several years. Dont know why? I have alot of guns and all will out shoot it everyday of the week. I just want one. Maybe its a sign of age? Just wanna relive some of the good times of killin deer with my old lever gun.....
Good for you Adam.
