Here is my first deer kill with the 35...check out the high tech clothes and my hair!



Another, with my 1974 Jeep



Same gun, 1977...I had put on weight!



My dad with a small buck he shot in 1977 with his 35. I now have that gun.



My brother with a 9 pt he took in 1981 with his 1973 336A - 35 Remington



My brother and I with bucks we took in 1997...his with the 336A, mine with the 336 RC - both 35 Remingtons

That is why we hunt with 35 Remingtons!!

Something about the 35 Rem and Flannel that brings brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.

No doubt the 35 Rem caliber is an excellent deer caliber especially back East or in the thick stuff. We've known that since its birth...Is it better than the 30-30, yes by a bit, but I doubt if one could tell much difference from a practical point of view. A heart/lung shot deer is dead with both.

I agree that with equal heart lung shot placement the result will be pretty much the same. On shots requiring more bone breaking and penetration the 35 will outshine the 30-30 by a lot.

I love my 336C 35 rem. It's my "go to" open sight rifle for deer/black bear/boar. I've only shot a deer with it so far.

Too cool! Wow. What state are tose pictures taken in?

Better to end a friendship than to let apunchline go to waste...

So here goes - from one marlin lover to the next -

... those pictures were taken in the state of denial, judging by all those fingers on the trigger.

halwg,

hope, my first line conveys the spirit in which this awfull joke was done on your expence.

If my fingers on the trigger then I'm in control hammer up or down.

Most are in PA, with a couple in WV.

Hawlg,

Great photos. Love the wool and a marlin in hand.

Simply great! Thank you! I think you said it all. When my .35 has spoken, the game went down, end of story. Plus I have my Woolrich too!

Halwg,
The woolrich coat and Marlin brought back many menories. I had duplicates of both when I lived in Pa.

Awesome post and very cool pics.

I don't hunt with levers much anymore....But I had the same "combo" of rifle and wool jacket back 25-30 years ago. Except mine was a 30-30. Thanks for sharing,

Thanks for the pics! I never had a 35, but I'm sure they are good guns.

Didn't know my wife was on here and WTH is she doing in Louisiana ?

If you want to buy a new Marlin, take a hard look at the new 338 lever. Impressive ballistics and on game performance.

nice pics,thanks for sharing.

Well I surely enjoyed your pics...but did ya have to. Now, after telling myself for so long having a 3030 I didn't need a 35, ya got me looking for one.
