My Marlin 336W, 30/30 lever action with plain iron sights

I bought mine off the shelf and intend to use it as my primary survival/defences rifle. It's light and solid enough for my purpose and has a very good reputation in terms of reliablity and history. It does not look intimidating compared to modern assault rifles. I am just worried about the 30/30 ammo supply as Big5, Walmart, and other gun stores are out for several weeks already, yet everywhere I read (internet) they say that 30/30 ammo is plentiful. I hope someone comments about availability of this ammo.




For backup, I have a G17 and a Ruger P95PR.

Thanks for reading.

Marlin 30/30

All around good defense and woodland rifle. Not great on range but forgiving on branches and obsticles. Cheap on the used market and not too pricy new. Make sure you have a front sight guard if you are not using a scope.

Other Options?

Oscar,
I think I would make sure the iron sights are zeroed as well as the scope. A survival rifle could get bumped around and knock the scope out easier than the iron sights. A G-17? Might want to reconsider that one. At least go with a .40 cal.. Ammo is still easy to get and is more potent than a 9mm. But you have a plan, and that's a start.
