I haven't been without a Marlin 336 for coon's age and have owned more than a dozen others over the years . The one i sold back in the 60's was a NRA Octangle barrel, sure wish i had kept it. The one i own now is the PRE SAFETY Model. I hate that cross bolt safety they now have on the newer ones. I have Williams Peep Sights on the one i own now and love the balance it has without a scope . Long live the Model 39 .

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
