Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Value of used 336 in 35 Rem in your area?

Found an older one today at the LGS. Don't have the all the info, but it's definitely walnut stocked. No checkering of any kind. Everything looks originasl. Probably 85% condition. Thinking about pulling the trigger on it as one like it has been on my to-get list for a while. And it's not going to be a show or investment piece. It will see woods time.

$299 with bases rings and el-cheapo scope.

What are they going for in your area? Do you think this a decent deal or should I continue looking?

Thanks for your input.

Sounds about right for my area (SoCal) but we don't see very many in that chambering. I'd definitely think about it and I already have two of them.

Seems like a good price to me. Here's one that may be comparable to what your looking at:

$250 with the scope, used. Oregon.
Not common, nor popular.

Don't really care about it's popularity. Besides, desire is personal. Not going for the popular vote. 35 Rem is what I want whether the general public thinks they need one or not.

But thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of offering $275. We'll see how it pans out. There will be another if this one passes by.

If you like it and can get it for $275, seems like a good price from what I see out there. Even $300 out the door...

Seams a O.K. deal if it is clean . We almost never see a used 35 in S.E . Ok. I would like to find a deal on a used straight stock one myself for my son . A straight stock anything is hard to find here also.

Meant to say...unpopular in Oregon. (But I've got one!)

The last two I have bought have cost $225 and $165, respectively. The $225 gun was in 90%+ condition, whereas the $165 model is around 75% (but should clean up fairly well).

Marlin .35's are very popular in this area, and are difficult to find used.

Cabela's in MICH was asking $350 for one about 5 months back.Nice walnut stock, and everything was in nice shape. I did not buy it as they seem overpriced on all their guns.

$225 would be a sweet deal on this rifle. That price would never happen at this shop. This guy gets top-dollar for his guns. It's probably the one thing that kept me from leaping on this one at $299. I'm just not a big fan of the guy that owns the shop. I have yet to make an offer. I thought I might sit on the sidelines for a couple weeks, at least until after the next gun show I'm headed to in 2 weeks. If it's still there then, maybe I'll make an offer. If not, there are 2 other shops close by and I think if I keep looking, one will turn up at a place I'd rather do business anyway.

I'd guess that you would be exceedingly lucky to find a used 336 of any flavor for less than $350 + tax. The local "entrepeneur" takes used guns, strips them of any parts they didn't come from the factory with, marks each part 5% - 10% below retail and puts them on the shelf. Since the 35 Rem. is probably not a hot commodity (I have been told I'm one of the few customers for ammo of that sort) it's possible that it could sit on the shelf for 6 or more months at which point he might throw in a box of ammo or knock another 5% off - enough to pay the local tax.

I have seen them go for $225-$350 in my area. It all depends on want, season, and condition. I believe I would go talk to the dealer and see if he might be willing to deal as they are not the hottest selling guns on the rack.
I have 2 of them but I, also, have a brother in law with a pawn shop/gun shop.

I would snap it up. While not a bargain basement price, that seems pretty solid. I think that's about $100 less than what you would pay for one around here.

Asking prices seem to be up lately, even though most seasons are over (we have another 2 weeks of a special doe season). I'm a real fan of the Marlin 336, prefer the older ones and have 4 in .30-30, 1 in 35 Rem. I like the 35 better, though both are extremely versatile with cast bullets. I've not had to pay quite that much for mine but I buy them when I can get them at my price. If that one talks to you, go ahead and buy it - you won't remember the price for long anyway. If the guy is a hgh dollar shop and priced it at $299 (which ain't that bad), he probably doesn't value it that much and might deal a little - maybe $299 and 3 boxes of factory loads. 35 Rem brass can be a little difficult to get if you reload as I understand it's a limited production run. If you don't reload, start! The 35 with cast pistol bullets is a cheap off-season plinking and practice load.

Well said, that goes for my area, also.

I seen one at the Omaha,Nebraska Cabelas.It wasn't in that great of shape,the wood was dull and nicked,the blueing was wearing thin and they were asking about $400.00 for it. I was thinking of selling mine for $150.00 until I saw that,now I want $350.00 minimum and mines in alot better shape then the one Cabela had for sale.

I recently traded a 95%+ condition pre-safety Marlin 336C in .35 Rem for $220 and about $180 worth of ammo.
$275 would be a good price on what is a fantastic deer rifle.
Guy I sold it to promptly killed 2 deer with it and was more than happy with the results.

I am looking for one if anyone has one to sell, maybe 2 as a friend wants one too. PM me.

I was at a gun show last weekend at a VFW Hall on Eastern Long Island, NY. There was a guy with 2, Marlin 336's in 35 Rem. for sale on his table. We were there early (10am) and my buddy picked up one for $310, and some other guy bought the other while we were waiting for my friends NICS check. I believe he paid the same amount as my friend, but the second gun was missing the front sight hood and was missing a white spacer under the buttplate. I don't think the neighborhood of $300 is unreasonable if the rifle is in decent shape. JMHO -Tom
