I have 2 marlin 336's. One with a 2-7 scope and one with peep sight. I don't need this medium bore or anything to cover any hunting in North America. I have too many rifles as it is the old lady says. I'm now down to a 338-06 (rebore of a 1903), another 35 whelen (rebore of same 1903), 338 win mag or 375 h&h. I think. Too hard....I want them all.....
