Another big fan of the Marlin 336 in 30-30, for all the previous listed reasons. It was also the first weapon I bought for myself.
re smooth bore and slugs.
I've an 870 w/ a vented rib smooth bore. Back in the day I used rifled slugs and a modified choke, putting holes in milk jugs at a hundred yards was a regular thing.
