My 1956 Winchester 94 is only 2 ounces heavier than my marlin 1894 c in 357. The marlin is a bit is easier to lever but not all that much easier to handle the advantage is shooting 30-30. It’s much harder hitting. But that may or may not matter.
The 336 is really totally different in its handeling, but it’s more bank vaults feel, it’s gets back to what you want, scoped primary hunting rifle? 336 is what you want, for me that will never be my use of a lever gun. Plinking and classic lever action experience is my desire. Handiness is next
