Standing next to the truck waiting for it to get light with a Marlin 336 chambered in 35 REM. Backstory?

You’ll have a great hunting season with your brothers memory in your hand.

Great looking rifle in a classic chambering. Sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope that when I go, some of my guns will go to hunting pals who will take them out and think of me when they drop the hammer on a buck.

My younger brother passed away 12 years ago this November. A few weeks before he died, he opened up his gun safe and told me to "pick one." He had some very nice and high dollar rifles, and the last thing I wanted was to take one because I knew that would be acknowledging what we both knew was happening to him. I ended up picking an AR in 6.8 SPC that he'd built. I took it the next deer season and killed a deer with it. I don't care to deer hunt with AR's and often wish I'd picked his favorite deer rifle, an early Ruger 77 in 25-06. With his passing, I lost a hunting companion that I'd shared many a hunt with. There's just something about brothers that makes for good memories.

That's a beauty. Your brother had good taste in rifles. I'm sorry for your loss but it's nice that you get to take a piece of him hunting with you.
