Looks like a 100 yard brush gun for deer.
Any experience?
Also how would you scope it?
Thanks

It's good to trade to me for one of several rifles of your choice. Seriously if you would be interested in trading for something pm me.

They are worthless, better sell it to me cheap.

I think they are unique in that you can use it as a great woods gun...in a bolt action. If your an aficionado of the 35 Rem (who isn’t) then you are limited to pumps and levers. You could go the bolt route with a 338 Fed, 358 W-W, or even a 308...but it doesn’t have the pizazz of the 35 Rem. .02

It is an awesome woods rifle for black bear and white tail deer in the New England states.

It’s a great deer round. I killed a bunch of deer with mine, and I was easily good to about 150 yards. Tried to go with iron sights for a while, but finally went with a 4 power scope. My 270 can’t kill deer any deader than the 35 did.

NO ! NO ! not worthless. They make good Tomato Stakes ! whistle laugh laugh

As has been said..... Great Woods Rifle and cartridge. I like em better than the 30-30 simply because you
start out with a BIGGER hole.

Considering the majority of big game are taken at 200 yards or less, I’d say it’s good for the majority of big game hunting in North America, and much of the rest of the world.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

A Marlin 336 is a better woods rifle than a Model 7. Woods rifles are often called to shoot offhand and a model 7 has piss poor balance {muzzle light} for offhand shots.

............and neither is the match for a 7600 carbine, but it's all a matter of taste.
Before too long, I'll have 2/3 to compare.

I had a 760 .30-06 carbine and a 7600 rifle., they're gone now but I still have my 336 and it ain't going anywhere. No plastic ejection port cover on the 336, no rubber o rings in the forearm and no forearm wobble. The full length under barrel mag tube on the 336 lends weight where it's needed for steady offhand shooting, particularly when fully loaded. The 7600 .30-06 carbine I had was deafening and produced a muzzle flash that would leave you temporarily blinded when shooting in a dark woods at dusk. No thanks, you can have my share of 7600 carbines. I don't want plastic and rubber parts in my rifles. I'm also not as impressed with the .35 as many seem to be. I've had several 336's over the years in both .35 Rem. and .30-30. The .30-30's are still here and the .35's are gone. Never could see where they were the least bit more effective than the .30-30 yet ammo/brass is harder to find and costs considerably more, it's trajectory is much more arched if you need to shoot past 150 yards and it was never as accurate for me as the .30-30. The .30-30 and .35 are contemporaries. The .30-30 being introduced in 1895 and the .35 just a few years later in 1908. If the .35 had any clear advantage, the .30-30 wouldn't have out sold it 100 to 1.

So have you shot a .35 Remington 760/7600?

They are mild mannered and hammer deer under 150.

Boom and not roar.

Fast to get another shot (trigger hand doesn't move).

Detachable mag too.

They are a freakin magic wand in the deer woods.

No but I have killed a number of deer with a 760 carbine and 7600 rifle in .30-06. I have also killed a number of deer with a 336 in .35 Rem.. I know what the .35 is like and does and I know what a 760/7600 is like and does. Like I said, I wasn't overly impressed by either. I sure as hell don't want a model 7 in any caliber for my woods rifle.

The combination of the two is simply a better woods rifle than the 336.

Absolute horse shyt. Like I said before, the .35 Remington cartridge never impressed me and neither did the 760. I never did see that the .35 did a damn thing the .30-30 didn't do inside 150 yards except cost more to shoot and past 150 the .30-30 is better. If the 760 in .35 were really "magic" they would have sold like hot cakes and they'd still be making them.

Was looking at this rifle for a one and done battery. Checks a lot of boxes for me but in Wisconsin some longer shots present themselves.

5 days to ponder

I have much experience that says otherwise.
