This is to the Marlin 336 35 Rem owners......I am considering one of these as My LGS has a very pretty one NIB that was made this year but I dont want one if all I can expect is 2 MOA accuracy with factory ammo as I was told by a buddy....all My rifles shoot MOA including My Henry 45-70 that will shoot one ragged hole at 100yds with Barnes Vortex ammo and under an inch with several other factory loads, so maybe I'm spoiled.....am I hoping for too much out of thie Marlin 336 in 35 Rem? ......Thanks Hb

Buy a preCBS and put a peep on it.

You will be surprised how well a peep sight works.

I have three Marlins in 35 Remington,have had several others. Using plain 200 grain CoreLokts,it is pretty common to shot three shot groups that hover around the one inch mark in scoped marlins.

These rifles will often shoot with lots of bolt action sporters.

I have not shot a current production Marlin,they had some issues when Remington took over,but I think they have solved them by now. Just look closely at wood to metal fit and fit and finish in general.

Thanks guys, i bought the rifle from my LGS along with 3 boxes of Hornady leverevolution ammo, the rifle looks flawless with great wood to metal fit and finish, the serial number indicates that it is of recent manufacture....The next chance i catch a nice day i will get it out to the range and wring it out..........Hb

I wish my 1953 336-A .35 shot that well with 200gr core-lokts. My ole gun has been subborn finding a load it likes.

I got My new Model 336C in 35 Remington out to the range with some factory Hornady 200 grain FTX leverevolution loads and I am pleased to report that My rifle shoots MOA 3 shot groups with these loads and it functioned fine in doing so...........Hb

I have only tried the 200gr core-lokt factory loads in mine and 3 shot groups @ 100yds averaged around 1.5"-2".
Probably would do better if I handloaded or tried a different ammo but for what I'm gonna use it for those groups will be fine.

Can't wait to kill a deer with it to see what the fuss is all about......I've never heard anything but good reports about the 35.

Yes, super gun. Mine did 1/2" at 100 but not with cast. Found my Lyman mold was under size.

The 35Remington is nice caliber to shoot for sure!

I managed to get a 336XLR in 35 Rem 4-5 years ago. Beautiful looking rifle, and shoots inside 1-1/4" regularily. I have had many groups well inside 1MOA .

The only thing about this rifle that I dont "Prefer", is the long 24" barrel.
I feels awkward to handle at times. I am probably going to shorten the barrel to around 20-21". This model with a standard barrel length like that would handle great!

In the areas I hunt with this rifle, the shorter barrel would never be an issue for performance.

I have hunted with the 35 since around 79 killed alot of deer with it. Never checked it for accuracy one shot at 25 yards if it was close leaning against a tree in the back yard good to go. If I dont want them going anywhere high shoulder shot puts them right down if they are facing the way I want them to go lung shot they go on average about 80 to 100 yards.

I have one made in 1951 that is more accurate than you would believe without seeing it for yourself. I have a 50s made .30-30 that shoots very well also. I have seen specific batches of Hornady LE ammo in both cartridges that were exceptional.

Many years ago I picked up an older 336 chambered in .35 Rem. It came with a K 2.5 Weaver on it. Took it to the range to check it and found it to be very accurate, well inside an inch at 100 yards off the sandbags. 'Still kicking my self for ever letting that one get away.

I have no experience with the Leverevolution ammo, but while ,ost posts here talk about how great the Rem 200 gr works, mine prefers Fed. 200 gr.accuracy wise. Doubt if any deer hit fairly would know the difference.

I haven't seen Federal .35 in 200 gr in 2 yrs....just wondering if Federal is still making .35 ammo.

Remington hadn't made any 35 Rem ammo for the last three years, but made a "seasonal run" of 200 grain corelokts about 8 weeks ago. I now see three or four boxes of it in most of the local gun stores. If you like this round, then you'd better buy some, because I'm sure it will be at least 3 years before Remington makes it again.

The three big jerks, Rem, Win, and Fed, are all defacto pushing the .35 Rem into oblivion, as a handloader's cartridge only, because they are cranking out so very little of it. All three of them have condemned it to occasional seasonal runs.

This is amazing, since Marlin has sold about 6 million Model 336s, and I'll bet nearly a half million or more were in .35 Rem.

The only consistent supplier of ammo is now Hornady, with their leverevolution stuff. But, lots of folks don't know that the brass they use is shorter than standard .35 Rem brass, which can create problems if you like handloading standard 200 grain rounds.
