What Rifle are you taking on opening day

My Marlin 336 lever action 35 Remington caliber that my Dad bought me new in 1978 from K-Mart on sale for $79.99 new. It is incredible!!!
My brother and I did the same at a Kamart in Cutler Ridge in 1978, he got a 336 in 30-30, and I got a 1894 in 44 mag for 94 bucks. Those were the days. Our father let us pick them out.
 
My first deer rifle was a Winchester 94AE 30-30 that i scratched and clawed to save for when I was 11 or 12. My dad and I went to Oshman's at Northlake Mall in Atlanta/Tucker and I handed over close to $180 for that rifle. Regrettably I sold that rifle when I was in college. One of the only rifles I ever regret selling and I sure wish I had it back.
Years ago I stupidly sold mine, regretted instantly and after three months of hounding and an offer of double what I sold it for, I got it back. My 94 will never leave my possession again.
 
Remington 81 and Marlin 336, both 35 Remington with iron sights.
