So, what's the opinion of the new Ruger Marlin stainless 336 rifles? SBL Series Model 336Trapper Series Model 336
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

Just handled them this past Saturday at the show. I was impressed and I've owned at least twenty Marlins over the years

I like 'em! I'd like them more if they'd chamber it in .360 Buckhammer (what a stupid name) They shoulda teamed up with Remington and called it the .360 Marlin.....THAT has a nice ring to it. I'd settle for a .35 Remington Trapper but we'll probably not see one of those either. I'd be tempted to pick a Trapper and send it off to JES.

Doubt they chamber something that ammo or brass is extremely hard to find right now. Sent my 35 down the road 6 months ago and never looked back. I wouldn't mind the SS Trapper.

A 30-30 would be cool but I'm liking the .360 better. It would be legal in Iowa for deer hunting where the 30-30 is not.

Look good to me, but I agree, 35 Rem on the barrel would make them look better. I like that they come standard with peep.

kwg They have no plans to do a 360 BH right now but they're actively working on a 336 in 350 Legend

Looks good, but I'm waiting on the SS 94s to come out.

The .360 has a slight ballistic edge over the old .35, is legal in the straight-wall states, and after looking at Midway and Grafs, there’s currently exactly one ammo choice available for it. None for the .35, nor any brass for either. One load in stock for .400, no brass even listed.
.350 OTOH, is relatively fat, but by no means abundant. Don’t need them here, but I wouldn’t invest in any of them except the .350 until things pick up supply-wise.
Lots of goodies available for my Grendel and 6 CM thankfully.
What fresh Hell is this?

Im a little bit perplexed as to why Marlin is working on the .350 in a lever gun, as a good bit of the factory loads aren't flat tipped.

They look nice, but the MSRP gives me sticker shock.

The trapper looks interesting, but I have zero interest in a 30/30.

I wonder if Henry has some sort of exclusive on the 360?

No go on the lever, the sights, the laminate stock, and the pistol grip, everything else looks OK. Would be in interested if the same lines of the old 336 were maintained, only difference being stainless.
