LOL ...... You would would pick a 336 over a 760/7600 and all the advantages they offer over the lever?
What advantage is that ? Keeping in mind we are supposed to be talking .35 Rem. here of course, which cancels any perceived advantages in chambering options.


It was you that brought in the 30-06 into this discussion, was it not?

Since you want to go back to the the 35Remington, the following in a 760 would offer much advantage over a 336.

- Pointy bullets.
- Higher pressures
- Removeable magazine
- Better accuracy

As for the plastic cover on the ejection port, I've had no trouble with any of the many pump guns I've owned in the past. I'm sorry you couldn't manage that one small detail along with the o-ring. Must have been horrible for you.
Better accuracy is bullshyt. Both of my current 336's are solid, consistent MOA shooters. Neither my 760 carbine nor my 7600 was as accurate. Removable magazine is debatable depending on personal preference. Higher pressures, maybe but that is of no consequence in a woods rifle. The .35 can safely be loaded to higher than book pressures in a 336 too. After all the 336 action is chambered in .444 Marlin at 44KPSI vs 33KPSI for the .35 Rem. Pointy bullets are not needed in a woods rifle either but if you feel you must for some reason the Hornady gummy tips work fine in the 336. More importantly it is easier and safer to put a really good trigger on a 336 than a 760 and a good trigger is paramount to precise off hand shooting. Oh and I only brought the .30-06 into this discussion because that's what my 760 and 7600 were chambered in.
