I bought one of the last of the Remington made Marlin 336s not that long ago in 35Rem, and the trigger was horrendous. I've read on the internet that some triggers could be 7-8lbs - I never measured mine but had no trouble believing that this was also possible in my case. I bought one of those Wild West Trigger Happy replacement triggers - it wasn't cheap but was an easy drop-in fix, and now feels "hunting normal" around the 2-3lb mark.
