. I've had 2 Marlins, .35 Rem, that I sold one to a young 21 y.o. lady who just completed Hunter Safety Course looking for a rifle to hunt with 'bout 10 yrs ago.
.
A friend who knew of her said last fall that she has shot 7-8 deer with it during that time. Man, what luck.
.
Another woman, early 50's, passed HSC in 2005, sold her a 336 in .35 Rem too. Heard later she to got a deer that year. Haven't heard anything since.
.
I too, using a Rem.81, .35 rem. 200 grn, shot a deer, day before Thanksgiving in 1980. Nothing with it since.
.
Would buy another one if a good deal came forth.
