There's always the chance to buy a nice secondhand lever action 30-30 off a few websites I know; that's how I got most of my Marlins! Best bush rifle you can own is the Marlin 336 lever 30-30, IMHO. You don't need a scope on it either, just the iron sights, or go a little fancy and get peep sights on it (I did, and love 'em). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
If you want them, let me know, and I'll send you the links; they're all Canadian businesses, so no worries about Duty crossing the border.
