Which one should I get?
Either way I would probably get it in a Marlin. It would fill the role of mostly a truck/woods gun for when I dont intend to shoot anything and regular range fun and maybe a hunt or two, but I already have a .30-06 for hunting and I doubt either would replace it except maybe in dense brush (but that is uncommon where I hunt in NM) I really just want a lever gun because they are awesome. For me recoil is not an issue and with either I will handload at least most of my ammunition. I am torn between the practicality of the .30-30 and the sheer awesomeness of the .45-70.
