I went out to buy a Wally World Marlin 336W in 30-30, a buddy of mine asked what I was doing and when I told him he offered me a 336CS in .35 Rem for $250.
I went and bought 20 rounds to try it out and caught a sticker shock. $29.95 for .35 v $17.99 for 30-30. In a hundred or so rounds I have paid the extra for a new one in 30-30. Question is is it worth it. The 336CS was made in '83. And looks fine. No checkering on the stock etc.
I reload and shoot quite a bit. I am intending to put a Vortex 1-4 scope on the rifle. I did some quick arithmetic on reloaded and it seems I am 6cents more on the .35
Opinions? The wife said buy both! Gotta love her.
