Can anyone tell me what the factory trigger pull weight is on a 336 30/30 please?

I really think that could vary widely on Marlin 336's. I have a sample of three and they were all over the place.

I bought one of the last of the Remington made Marlin 336s not that long ago in 35Rem, and the trigger was horrendous. I've read on the internet that some triggers could be 7-8lbs - I never measured mine but had no trouble believing that this was also possible in my case. I bought one of those Wild West Trigger Happy replacement triggers - it wasn't cheap but was an easy drop-in fix, and now feels "hunting normal" around the 2-3lb mark.

Over the years I have had Marlins run from under 3# to almost 6#.
They are not real precision guns. Fortunately there are lots of shops that can improve them. I bet someone near you can help

Thanks for the replies guys. I suspected they had a lot of varied pull weight but I like to confirm my suspicions lol

All of mine are WWG or Ranger Point

As said they vary quite a bit. Fortunately they are simple and easy to work so that they shine like a new penny.

I have JM’s and Remington Marlins. I don’t recall any that had poor triggers. I guess I never worried much about it.
I think my Winchester 1894 32 Special’s trigger and my 4 digit serial number 1892 Winchester may have the best triggers for lever guns that I own. But the Marlins and my 99 are not objectionable.

2nd owner of a 336 and the older gentlemen I bought from did not say anything about trigger work. Just about 4 lbs.

My JM stamped 336 in 30-30 is 3.7 lb. Would not want it any lower in a lever gun.

All of my Marlin lever guns have triggers that break in the 3.5-4lb range. I’ve been pretty darn happy with em.

I just measured a couple of JM Marlin's. The 35 Remington trigger pull is 4 lb. The 30-30 is 5 lb.

I have to check on that. I had a trigger job done that reduced one of them to 4 lbs. The one I didn’t change is probably 6-7. I won’t change the other though. I like to be able to handle different pull weights. I’ll even shoot a handgun double action just to practice with heavy trigger pulls. Unless your a precision long range shooter,competitor, own a custom rifle,or a true pussy that can only shoot light trigger weights, they aren’t all that necessary. The lowest I set my sporters is 3 lbs. When I get my custom I’ll only go down to 2lbs. For a lever action that at best might shoot 1”( which I highly doubt is likely), 4 lbs. is the
least to go down to because it’s impractical to do otherwise. You won’t gain any more in terms of precise groups. Looking back, I shouldn’t have bothered getting one of them reduced to 4lbs.

My Remlin-336 is very-recent manufacture, and has a “nice trigger”.
“Nice” to me means that the trigger breaks somewhere between 3 and 5 pounds, but most importantly, it breaks at the same weight each time, and isn’t a big surprise every time you squeeze it.

I would judge it to be about three pounds……more to the light-side, than the heavy-side.

No complaints!

I have a Rem-Lin 44 mag that I really like. (It has a better stock than any of my JM Marlins). Its trigger pull is on the light side of 5 lb. It seems all the Marlins I've checked so far have been between 4 and 5 lb, no matter who the manufacturer was.

I have a Rem-Lin 45-70 (also with a very nice stock) and a JM Model 39 at the gunsmiths for feeding issues - I have not measured their pulls. My wife's Mossberg - I have not checked yet, but as I recall it is in no way offensive.

My 71 Browning has a 5 1/2lb pull and I never noticed an issue with it.

The Marlin's trigger pulls seem to be a little heavier than the Win levers I have by a little over a lb on average. That is comparing all the trigger pulls the lightest I have is close to 3 lb and the heaviest is 5 1/2 lb. The 3 pound trigger pull rifle had the trigger worked over by a gunsmith and it's the only one with a scope.

Basically, trigger pull seems to me to be an issue mostly when I am trying to get the tiniest groups and that generally has not been an issue with lever rifles- for one thing all but one has iron sights. None are considered > 300 yard rifles.

Many years ago, my first Lever action rifle was a Marlin 57 22 LR. The trigger pull on that rifle was over 13 lb as it came from the factory. Dad got that down to maybe 6 lb.
