Humdinger,
Lotta good advice on your caliber selection, but suggest you look past the caliber and consider what Models are in the pick. For example: I'd opt for a pre-'55 ADL in 30-30 over a later RC in 35 Rem. Are you familiar with the 336 Models?

Marlin introduced the .35 Rem chambering to the 336 line in 1950. There have been several models available since then. What's stamped on the Bbl? 20" bbl or 24" Bbl? 2/3 length magazine? Stock checkered? Straight or pistol grip stock? Serial # with last 2 digits replaced with XX. Obviously a Pic or 2 will tell all.
A good, handy reference is Doug Murray's THE 336. Believe its been out of print for a while, but some book sales outfits may have a copy on hand. A more definitive reference is Brophy's MARLIN FIREARMS. But you can also ask your questions here and at the MarlinOwners.com board and you'll find folks more than willing to help out.
