Looking for Marlin 30-30 for new hunter

Wal-Mart in Eau Claire has boxes of 30-30 for $28.

MARLIN 30-30 Lever action bought brand new oct. 2004 for 289.98 with scope still use it today looks brand new

So here’s some info that should interest all you Marlin owners…
JUST SAW NEW MARLIN 30-30’s
ADVERTISED ON “Grab a Gun” for $1,799. 
I s h i t  u not! 
Says it’s new model now made under Ruger’s guideance!  Wow, used to retail for like $499 or less…
Looks like same old 336 that’s been around forever. Wonder if our used models just took a big uptick in value-like the Colt snake revolvers did …
Because i for one would sure part with my .35 model 336. Especially if the price was like. $500 more than I ever thought possible… gonna keep a watchful eye on this

The older Marlin's did not have the cross bolt safety, so basically operation is no different than a 94.  The newer Marlins have the cross bolt safety lock.  Either one to unload you need to run every round through the chamber.  I have an older Marlin 336 in 30-30 no cross bolt safety.  It is a tack driver.  It was not the first gun I put in my Daughter or Son's hands however.  They are handy nice little rifles.

Good luck

They are not the same gun despite outward appearances.  Marlin is heavier, beefier. I believe the Marlin has an extra safety feature to prevent accidntal hammer drop

I dont get the original post. You dont want your son to use yours for safety concerns, yet you want to buy the same exact gun ( lever action), but a marlin. Never seen a bolt action or semi auto 30 30 from marlin

fOr those looking for a 30.30 marlin American Antique sales in GreenBay has some for sale

Was at Scheels last week,they had 30-30 ammo, looked like they had everything except .35

Look in the classified section on this site. There is one on there.

?Fleet Farm in Gemantown had 30-30 on the shelf over the weekend. 

I was at Walmart today picking up fishing supplies and I noticed they had 30-30 on the shelf.
It can be found.

There is always 30-30 ammo at the gun shows. I looked on Gunbroker.com this morning and there was 405 listings for 30-30 shells. 35Rem is another story, it is hard to get and expensive. 

WI Gun Shows

Check your local gun shows. There is always ammo to be found at the shows. It maybe a little higher priced but if you need it, someone will usually have it. 

I have not been able to find any 30 30 either.

Follow up to old post-did finally find some .35 remington ammo. Both the Hornady & the remington  core lockt now  $59.88 to $61.88 a box!!! Absolutely ridiculous since the other calibers likec.243 to 30.06 have gone up only $10 a box….
