Nessmuk, is it a model 375 instead of 336? I saw one a couple years ago for $600. Asked the same question you did and after guys said, "hurry go back and buy it!!!!", I went back and it was gone!!! That one was far underpriced. The consensus back then was it was worth $1,000.00 all day long. I'd imagine it would be worth a little more now. I like to check gunbroker completed sales to see what they are really going for, but that was my experience.

I know it was a hard question, but was it a 336, or a marlin 375?

There seems to be a small but loyal following. Not a real gang-buster cartridge and reload only with components being scarce. The Winchester guns came in AE and top eject only, some with safety and some without. The Winchester XTR had great finish. I recommend checking out closed auction to see what selling prices were achieved.

Saw a .375 Win. Caliber Bald Eagle Commemorative on the Gunrunner Auction site that looks like it could be a good dressed up shooter at a reasonable price for those interested. It's been shot and it's not overly Fancy to take to the woods. IMO!

Not a Marlin, but I saw an XTR just like the one I have and the shop wanted $900 for it. Don't know if that is a good deal these days or not??

I have a Win Big Bore 94, bought it in '92 and 99.9% sure it's never been fired. Halfway decent grain, have dies, 100 new pieces of Winchester brass, and some ammo. And NO, I'm not selling any of the components if I don't sell the rifle. Hadn't really thought of selling it a whole lot, but other than a yearly wipe-down I haven't touched it and someone should enjoy it.

I’ve been shooting my Savage 99 375 Win for years and love it though for some reason I keep passing it up on most hunts. Hard gun to find these days, actually they never were really common, and bring ridiculous prices but the 99 in my opinion is an exceptional design and very strong. All of the 99’s I’ve owned balanced very well quick to point and as accurate or better than any lever action. But the beauty of this rifle is the rotary magazine that doesn’t limit you to flat point bullets. Being able to load spire or round soft points lets this cartridge step out beyond the other loads. . Hawk offers a number of good quality bullets for the 375 with several jacket thicknesses. I’ve got three Stevens 44 and 44 1/2 single shots in 38-55 so this case is very familiar to me.

Not a 336 or a Winchester but I walked into a gun shop in Seymour, Indiana a couple of years ago to check to see if they had any powder. There in the rack was a 99 in 375. It looked brand new. IIRC it was $1400 dollars. Only 375 I ever seen or laid hands on.

You can't touch a 375 Marlin for under 1500 nowadays..

Guess the marlin 375Win I picked up last year, was a good deal then. Came with scope, sling, dies, and 120 loaded cartridges, along with about 35 once fired. $500.

Rick I bought one last spring, shoots really well with 200 grain Sierra’s. It didn’t look like it had been fired, certainly never had a scope mounted on it

hanco you’re lucky to find a 99-375. I think mine is one of the best handling rifles I own. I actually feel guilty I’ve never hunted it but I would suggest looking into Hawk bullets for some better flying bullets that I can assure you perform on game very well. I hunted Hawks in my 350 Rem and my 30-06’s both standard and Ackley Imp. Rick

The last one I saw like this was 3 months ago. The shop wanted $900 for it, which seamed real reasonable. It came with loading dies, brass, bullets and a couple boxes of factory ammo. Another one I saw was a year ago. It was near identical to mine. In like new condition for $800. Didn't come with reloading dies or anything else. I'd never sell mine, as it was my grandfathers favorite rifle and it's a reminder of him. But, if I had to put a price tag on something like it, I'd say $900 here and a starting price of $1,200.00 at Gunbroker..

I have a Winchester 375. I mostly just use it to shoot cast bullets. It’s in excellent shape. I have quite a bit of brass and a box of factory. Maybe I should sell it, but it isn’t hurting anything where it is and I don’t know what I’d want for it.

Sounds about right to me. I bought a 94 XTR in 375 in really nice shape from a member here last year in that range and felt like that was a pretty fair shake.
It's great shooter with .378 245gr cast and 200gr Shock Hammers. I haven't messed with any other bullets in it yet. I'll probably try some of the 200gr Sierras if I ever happen across some. I actually just finished zeroing in the sights on that thing with a cast load for deer season yesterday afternoon.

I still have a few boxes of factory ammo, but don't want to shoot it because the damn stuff is so expensive now. I also load for mine, but have not gotten into the cast bullet game. Fun rifles to shoot for sure.

It was a bit nasty to shoot when I first got it. I ended up putting one of the thin decelerator pads on it. That factory plate just bit the hell out of me, even with milder loads. I changed out the sights, too. My depth perception has gone to crap, so a fiber front is pretty much a must for me if I'm not using a peep.
It's a nice shooter. I can touch all my shots at 50yds on a day I'm not shaking too bad. Even on a bad day it's a 1.5" group at that range; plenty good enough for the spot I'll be hunting this fall. A long shot in there is maybe 70 yards.
I definitely wouldn't be shooting it much if I was paying for factory loads. Those Lightning cast are pretty reasonable, about $18/100. The Hammers are damn expensive, but I always like to work up a mono load for new rifles, just in the event I may need it somewhere/sometime in the future.

I wish mine shot like that!! I think I shoot mine more offhand than any other rifle I own. It is a little punishing off the bench.

My offhand shooting is absolutely abysmal. Neurological damage when I was 18, so I have tremors, especially in my hands. Some days are worse than others. 50yds off the bench on a less shaky day. 10.5gr Unique, CCI200 with the 245 Lightning.

Just saw my first 375 Marlin in the wild at a gun show yesterday. Exterior was 8+ condition, didnt check the bore once I saw the $2500 sale tag on it. Cool to see the 'holy grail' of the Marlin clan, but not for me at that price. Id rather a 444.

I was looking at a new in the box unfired Big Bore the other day they wanted $1250 for it? Is that the going rate more or less?..mb
