Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting BRAND NEW 7600 vs 336ss vs BLR for Northeast

There it is....on the internet forever.

You're onto something...

My first year with a rifle... my dad handed me a marlin 336A and it failed. The firing pin was broke. Then I grabbed the rem 600 in 35 rem and stuck with bolts. My dad held up his remington 743 auto and said... don't buy these.. they jam.

I avoided levers for years due to pin breakage and weaker extraction.

Now I favor only levers and bolts. Even have a 336A again.
Tried pumps and sold them for no good reason. I think a rem 6 is a very attractive gun.
Held a savage 170 yesterday and liked it too.

My dad gravitated back to winchester 94 in his last years of hunting too.

sur i can, ain't feiting back wat its about?

thanks, i like that marlen 2.

I've never lived anywhere that seeing a pump rifle on the gun shelf was a common occurrence. My fascination began via the Beniot stories I read when MUCH younger.

I've never seen anyone hunting with a pump rifle.

That's actually a nifty looking rig.

I'm still sitting here scratching my head on how a 30-06 isn't good for deer at 100 yards. Wow Ed k

What I don't like about pump actions is the forearm moves once the action is fired. I do not know if the Remington mentioned in this thread is like the " 22 s & slug guns " I have fired.

The BLR has a nice magazine, but PLAN on getting the trigger worked on.

The Marlins are golden in that regard, so simple and easy to get shooting good! But a PITA to load unload compared to a clip, or like henery has now a tube feed that unloads via the tube.

steelhead who did the camo job? I got a 90smod 94 I would like to have done. i could not do my marlins

Angus, that's the point when it's in the hand - slide rearward, no?

I have no idea, I bought it that way in the Fire.

You could PM yar, that is who I bought it from, he might know.

thanks steelhead

If 100 yards is the key distance I would find and older Marlin in 35 Rem. It may be old and ancient but it drops a big hammer on deer at that distance. A .35 bore always makes a statement no matter how mild mannered it may be.

You have narrowed your choice down to 3 great rifles, I have owned a bunch of Marlins and BLR's, you can not go wrong with any of these rifles but My favorite on your list is the Browning, I have had a pile of these over the years and all have been very accurate, there is a wide range of cartridge choices and I love the detachable magazine...If you wanrt the easiest to clean buy a takedown model ( stainless/laminated ) these are very pretty to boot.......Good luck...Hb

Of those three I have already chosen. A Marlin 336 30-30, actually I have two one scoped and one with a peep sight. I started with a rifle like this and have come around a bit. I also have a Rossi 16 inch M92 copy in 45 Long colt but it is generally used as a general purpose rifle and truck gun. The 265 gr. cast bullet at 1400 fps will easily reach out to 100 yards.

I have ONLY known 1 760 that rattled.
I personally have 4 and have had 2 or 3 more — none rattled.

I have friends that own & hunt them.....none rattled.

Yes, I know ‘some’ rattle BUT I don’t know How they were treated or mistreated.

Secondly, why do you need a metal DUST cover ? Don’t.

Thirdly, LOTS of machinery & engines use O ring gaskets. Why don’t you replace them?

Fourthly, the muzzle blast not only covers any noise but you can be reloaded before the shot sound is gone.

to me the slide action is the most natural of manually operated guns. if i HAD to buy brand new, i'd buy the 7600 '06 carbine, i'd put talley light weight lows and a bushnell elite 4200 on it.

but that said, i would buy a used one. up around here in PA they're plentiful and reasonable.

I would like a 760 in 308 to go with my 742 308 carbine

One thing for sure, you don't have to worry about loose forearms, worn out o rings or plastic bolt covers on a Marlin 336.

In your experience is the muzzle blast on a 7600 Carbine going to be a lot worse than a 22 inch barrel 7600 or 22 inch bolt for that matter?

Kiss ass you bitch.
