My first Marlin lever was a new Guide Gun in .45-70. Hooked me. I have since picked up 336's in a .35 carbine (full mag) and a .35 rifle (1/2 mag), both from the 50's. I like the "one ragged hole" peep rear sight blade changeout. Some like it, some don't. My favs are also the 94 Win's in .32Win and the Sav 99's.
