I cant really answer your question... because I've only owned one 336. It's a 30-30, made in '75 with the straight stock.

Word of caution-- shoot the gun several times before you buy, if you are getting a used gun. Some, might be all I'm not sure, 336's have a 2 piece firing pin assembly. If worn, the pins wont line up properly and sometimes the rifle will not shoot. Check it out, before you buy. I had this problem with a 336 that I bought from a pawn shop, but they gave me my money back.

Other than that, I think, they are great guns and I've killed more deer with my 30-30, than any other gun.
