I'm sure you will enjoy that rifle, the Marlin 336 is a lot of fun to shoot and the .30 WCF is a great NE woods cartridge. I too almost picked up a 336 this weekend, a local dealer has a 1948 336A in .30-30 in pretty nice shape for $250. If I'd have had the cash on hand I'd have grabbed it and put it right next to my 336 in .35 Rem. You've got the advantage with the .30-30 since ammo is available anywhere ammo is sold and it's about $10 a box cheaper than ammo for my .35 Rem which I need to reload if I want to shoot it.
