Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions When the Ruger made Marlin 336 finally rolls out....

Seemingly everyone's pining for a blue/walnut .35 or 30-30 at $500 MSRP, but the way I see it, those are on the secondary (used) market. Most of us loonies already have them in our safe anyway. All the leverguns made today, here and overseas, are nipping at the heals of $1k MSRP and many well over. Only speaking for myself, the only thing that would get me to buy one new at close to MSRP is something different that hasn't been done, which is why I bought one of the first 1895 Trappers I found. About the only thing that would get my money right now would be a 336 Trapper in the new .360 cartridge, but it looks like Henry might beat them to that. An 1894 Trapper might do it for me also. I don't see prices falling anytime in the predictable future with production unable to meet demand.

Ruger? MSRP will be north of a grand. All their MSRPs a ridiculously high.

Yep, kick'n myself now after passing on different JM 336 over the years. Kicks get swifter remembering how 'affordable' and the different calibers of 336 I had came across....

Got the 336ss in 30/30. It's great.

Amen. My 336ss in 30/30 fits like a glove.

O.k, rub it in.... twice

Not sure how many 30-30’s I’ve owned. I had a Rem 141 in 35 Rem, sold it. Still have a 336 35 Rem and a 336 30-30 and a 788 30-30 and a Mossberg 30-30.
I think you should buy both. You can always sell one if you have too.

In my opinion a 35 Remington loaded to what the 336 can handle is a pretty lethal combination.

.358 Whelen. That's a rare one😁

Indeed rare..... A .358 whelen

Not all the cheap Marlin 336's are gone. You just have to be patient and I mean very patient. I just bought a Marlin/Glenfield 30-30 in 98% condition-except- for a guys name and SS# scratched on the receiver. Other than that it is mint. He was walking into the gunshow and I offered $400 and he took it! It shoots 170 gr Speer bullets and ReL 15 into less than an inch. Keep looking at the smaller shows.

What kind of retard etches their personal info onto the receiver of their rifle? What a prick.

No damn way I’m paying anywhere near MSRP for a Ruglin. JM all the way.

It was more popular than you may think back in the day. People used to just fling their SSN out there for the whole world to see. But as we all know it is a different world now.

I haven't seen the new reg.'s but off the cuff i would doubt .35 Whelen is included. It's a high pressure round based off the 30-06, and far more powerful than a .35 Rem.
Your friend may wanna double check before heading to the cornfields .

Back in the 60's and 70's Police and Sheriffs departments used to advise people to put that information on their valuables including firearms. I think it was supposed to aid in recovery and also as a deterrent to theft. They even had electro engravers and would do it for you. You won't find anything out there with my name scratched on the side of the action.

I remember an article by Skeeter years ago where he and a friend would go into Mexico and look for old single actions. He was fussing about Bartholomew Bustamie who had scratched his name on an old Colt with what was apparently an old horse shoe nail...

I just checked with him again. Yes, it is a Remington 7600 in .35 Whelen. (I called it a .358 Whelen) I reloaded some ammo for him and took it to the range to test it. It has a hefty kick as I recall. But, it's legal in Iowa to hunt deer with.

I would like to have a .35 Remington to hunt deer with. What a classic caliber.

kwg

You could split the difference and get a wildcat 35-30

Either is fine. Personally, I love the 336. So much that I got a stainless and a blued. Heck, I’m looking at the Curly Maple and Trapper models.
