Marlin 336 in 35 Rem followed me home yesterday. Choice between that and one in 30-30. This one had a sling, Weaver 3-9 (made in China) scope and better finish. Serial No. indicates 1974 manufacture, appears to have been fired little.
Now to find a mold, dies, brass etc.
Regards

I have one too. As a bear guide in Northern Manitoba years ago I became quite smitten with a client's 336 in .35 rem and determined I must have one some day. It took a lot of years but I finally bought myself a new one 2 years ago. Mine is an excellent cast shooter despite the doom and gloom often reported with micro groove rifling. It also is a fine rifle despite the transitions at Marlin.
I love Swede Nelson's version of the RCBS 200-FN. The shoot very well in my rifle and the big ol flat nose make a tremendous whop when they hit something. Water filled milk jugs turn into 6 foot spray patterns. With a compact 2-7 scope it remains light an handy. Blasphamy to some, the scope allows me to continue to enjoy accurate shooting despite my aging eyes.

Feed us some eye candy. We all enjoy seeing each other's finds. Dang but I've been walking past a gun store for years and never had a Marlin follow me home. You must be livin' right.
Ya gots to go inside once in a while. It works I tell ya. lol
35 rem is a great caliber in my opinion ,a bit tricky to find brass and ammo for though . I bought some new win brass from midway a while back at an outrages price but I needed it .later on I got lucky and found a couple hundred rounds of once fired on a local classified then a year or so after found a shoe box almost full from same classified and got the guy down to 50$ all that along with the brass from a few boxes of factory ammo I bought when I 1st got the gun im set for a while .
Look at post #3!!!!
