Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any 35 Remington fans?

Iv never owned one, came real close a couple of months ago, but bought a 99 in 300 savage, hoped the guy would still have it, at a gun show a couple of weeks ago, he tends to have about 6 tables, he was a no show, one of these days tho!

Mine is a 1976 Marlin 336 with a Leupold 2-7x33. I use it every year in the deer woods.

It's a great round! Moreover one that's stood well the test of time. A lot of nice newer cartridges since those 'teens' of the last century era of its birth. But a lot to me of new whoop-de-do stuff as the 35 Rem just keeps on truckin! Some great guns chambering it! Mine, a sole Stevens 425 lever, more than a few Remingtons - pumps. Model 14 from 1917 and successor model 141 from intro year 1936. Those Remingtons the Swizz watch as beautifully mand & complex/slick but moved to largely forgotten as narrow collector interest today! My Marlins, Model 336 reflecting the majority of my .35 chambered rifles. A "Rifle" from chambering intro year 1950 & "Texan Carbine"from Model intro year 1953. Both "Waffle Tops as untapped. Marlins finally surging in popularity last 2-3 decades. Finally emerged from "also ran' to Winchester 94 & 64, never offered in .35 Rem. "Sleepers", no more! The fact of their chambering in .35 a real boon.
No bolt rifles in .35! Don't even know what's out there today, but the Win Model 70 pre '64 and Rem Model 30 available. Large actions. Expensive collector guns in that chambering and bit heavy/unweildy.

Tried to post pix of each of my five above described rifles. "Overiszed images!" Condemned!

Thanks for an interesting Thread concering a great round!
Best!

I am a fan too. I've had a Marlin 336A and a Rem M7 but they're gone. Now all I have is a lowly Winchester Model 70 FW in 35 Rem. No, it's not original. It's a custom built gun.

This reminds me that I need to check zero and make sure it's ready for gun deer season next month.

Count me in. Took my buck last year with a Marlin in 35Rem. This year, this one will get the chance at least some of the time.

Have mine in 336 but one of those Remington pumps is on my short list.

Mine is a 1961 version stamped JC Higgins. Pretty good wood. I have been too busy to shoot it much but I put a taller front sight on it and a Williams peep. I did shoot five of Hornady's gummy tips through it and one of the case necks split. I loaded the four remaining cases with 200 grain cast bullets gas checked and powder coated and fired them with satisfactory results showing me the Marbles rear sight needed a taller front. I don't care for that particular rear sight so I replaced it with the peep. As soon as I can I am going to be casting some 220 gr. and 200 gr. Cast bullets from a LEE and a MP mold for it. The first four were sized to .356 for my 350 Legend. These will be sized .359. The Grandson will shoot the Legend AR this year and I think I will carry this rifle for most of my hunting. I began hunting with a 30-30 Marlin and a few times I have fooled with 444's and an even older Marlin in 35 Remington but compared to my use of bolt rifles they hardly compare. Only hunting Oklahoma and Texas this year so the 35 Remington can cover most of it.

Love my Marlin 336, but can't find ammo anywhere. Occasionally see Leverevolution rounds but not a huge fan.

I've got a Marlin 336 that I've had for probably 30 years. It wears an old Bushnell 1.5-4x scope and always puts them an inch high at 100 yards into 1 to 1.25" groups. Never loses zero. Heck, I've even shot a couple of groups with mixed reloads of different powders and it stacks them all in the same group with 200 gr RNs. It occasionally gets the nod after I've killed my buck and I'm hunting for a doe.

That Grice sure is nice SC 🙂

I started 35 rem w a Super 16 Contender.
Then got a 760.

I think it's a great deer round for under 150yds.

To me that is the coolest of 35 Remingtons. I have handled a couple but never shot one.

I suspect that the OP being from Texas that there wouldn't be a lot of folks after a Marlin .35 Remington down there. Heck even up here my own .35 Remington 141 was an impulse buy that got sold. Fiber optic sights on a shortened barrel made into an ideal still hunting, tracking rifle. Then I realized that doing that in the north woods with lots of other hunters was just getting "my" deer killed when I pushed them into other people. Now I can shoot a close deer with a rifle and cartridge that shoots far, a bolt action 7mm-08, but I can't shoot a far deer with a rifle and cartridge that shoots close, a pump 35 Remington.

I'm a fan. First one was a Marlin 336, then a Remington 141, most recent is a Marlin waffle top. Always a question of which one to hunt with.

I could live with one of the various Remington Model Sevens from the Custom Shop in 35 Remington.

...... or one could just re-barrel a Model 600 Mohawk.

I have an early '80s Marlin 336 that I purchased almost a year ago. Beautiful wood for sure.

Haven't shot it yet, probably do that this weekend.

Have 100 loads I rolled up for it. Varget and some 200 grain Remington Core-Lokt.

May try to use it this firearms season.

Gotta ask what bullet weight is everyone using?..mb

158gr
