I've come across a Marlin lever in 35 Remington. I was kind of surprised to see it here in North Texas. The same person also had a Ruger Deerfield.

He was probably an old school hunter as opposed to a technowizardlongrangeshooterhunter. Just my prejudice showing through.
I can think of a lot worse choices than an old 35 Rem Marlin lever gun. I have a 1955 vintage well worn example. The full power factory load gets your attention. Plus I can load 150 grain pistol bullets w a small charge of Unique for fun shooting at the yearly family "Pig-Nic" .. Everyone likes to shoot that old rifle. uncle mike
Mine came from north Texas. Just happened to be in the shop when it was brought in by the gentlemen selling it. Used it hog hunting, ammo was tough to come by down home, stocked up last time he found some and it kicked a little too much for his liking. He asked the shop owner if he was interested in ammo for it too, what cha got he replied. Fella came back in with several hundred rounds of leverrevolution . I purchased the 336 after a little negotiation (he bought it right let’s say). Didn’t take long to find why it was traded in. Lift gate was not right from the factory and it locked open. I fixed it and now have a good late JM 336.
Huh. Former Jersey yankee and I have three of them
I have one but have always been fond of that caliber.....
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

I am loading the RCBS copy bullet by Lee at 1500 FPS with unique. No complaints about recoil. Mine is a mid-fifties waffle top in the configuration of pistol grip and 2/3 tube. My favorite config. I would work with pistol bullets except that is why I have a 1894C.
It's getting harder & harder to find places to shoot. I don't like public ranges. Your right but the little I get out I spend either checking sights or letting the wife & kids shoot. I haven't hunted in several years & haven't taken a shot in about 3 years. I'm looking to load pistol rounds in the 35 for some fun.
I inherited from 3 different people. I only shot one of the 35's as a kid.
I got two 336s and two Rem pumps and one #8 in 35. My main deer gun is Rem 141 /35cal. I’ve shot a lot of deer with it. I’m a stalker not a stump hunter and the thicker the cover the better. I’ve shot my share with a 30/30 but they don’t have the wack factor of a 35 with 200gr bullets. My 336s are both 30/30s. I’m looking for a Marauder 35. Don’t like levers with pistol grips. That’s why I offed both my 35 and 375 Marlins. Straight grip and receiver sight fits my style of hunting. Fast, Furious and close.
Here’s two deer I dropped with 180 Speer hot core J words last season loaded at 2350 FPS.
I have two 35 Remington’s. One limited run 7600 carbine and a 1970 anniversary 336. Also a limited run 35 whelen 7600 carbine. My Ruger carbine semi auto 44 mag is a blast to shoot but I normally use my 77/44 instead. The 35 Rem has way more drop em in their tracks power and knock down then the 44’s.

That's my go to hog gun, drops them quite nicely.
I'm helping his widow sell off the collection.
First batch was 17 rifles.
This batch is 24 handguns and 10 rifles...not sure on the rifle count as I haven't gotten them cataloged yet.
There is still one side to the safe that's mainly shotguns and a few rifles.
He was a fellow Veteran and she really needed the help. I'm doing all I can to get her top dollar for these firearms. She needs the money. It's been a lot of work, but I really don't mind.

Just another's opinion.
25_30_32_35s Rems never got their due. {John Browning/ Remington creations.} All those cartridges were designed to steal away Winchester 94s market place popularity without infringing on Patent Rights. I'll bet Mr. Browning never got over that covert fiasco.
When comparing ballistic stats: 32 Special marginally betters that of the 35's in all 100 yard category's.
25 Rem_/_25-35 win__32 Rem_/_32 Special
30 Rem_/_30-30 win__35 Rem_/_38-55 win
The .35 Rem is a great cartridge that would be even greater if it had the .476 case head of the 8x57(people say "06 case head" but first is first.....). I've read that it was meant to mimic the .33 Win.
