I believe the OP said "made today" Ever made? Model 99 Savage..Made today? Marlin
I have a Marlin in the handbag not typing this with its an 1895. I'm happy with it, but I would say buy a Henry. Slicker action, prettier wood and already has XS ghost ring sights from factory on the 30-30 and 45-70.
As others have mentioned, the 30-30 is what the typical American thinks of when a man says deer rifle. That is slowly morphing into the bolt action rifles in an assortment of chamberings.

I've heard this rumor also, but its mistaken. Winchester has been selling Miroku made 92's and 94's for some years, after they stopped production of the 94's in the states. The quality is better than Winchester made in ages, and no question above any of the other makes I've seen and handled. They are pricey, but the quality isn't lacking by any means.
Some of the Italian guns are very good, but still not to Miroku level.
