I have a 336D that I bought in 2000. It would not shoot a three shot group with any ammo, factory or handloads better that 3" to 4" at 100 yards. I finally sent the barreled action to get a cryogenic treatment. This brought the groups down to 2" at 100 yards. Good enough for me to hunt with.

Age of the rifle, and who produced it?
Sounds like tension issues w/ expanding metal. I would probably disassemble, and reassemble paying close attention to tension and retry. I am not a huge fan theoretically of no tension on the barrel/having no support, but admit I am not read up on it. These guns were not meant to be 'free floated'

Does the rest of the rifle 'line-up'?
Ordinarily I would say a 3-4" group at 100 is normal for a lever, or at least it used to be, but that is a big jump from one shot to another.

Also you will be giving up a decent amount of velocity for 35 Rem at 16," which you probably already know. Would probably be fine for 200gr core-lokts, but not every 35 cal bullet is designed to expand at low velocities.
