It doesn`t get much better than a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington.Glad we are in agreement about the 200gr CoreLokts.Many deer and hogs have fallen to that round. My 336 is a carbine with half magazine and a Weaver V4.5 scope.Light and short makes it easy to carry and no banging the barrel when in a tight stand. Lots of rifles stay at home in the safe when you own one of these. Only one I have that I feel the same about is a Ruger Compact in 308Win that is scoped the same.
