Marlin .35 Rem

[Salmoneye]

.35 Rem brass is 'seasonal'...When you see it, buy it...

There is a guy that is 'converting' .308 Win to .35 Rem, and he is getting good reviews on some of the sites...

He has been on castboolits.com for a while, and just turned up at Marlin Owners also...He goes by the name of Grumpa...

I have no stake in this, just purely for the info and alternative to waiting for commercial brass:

Catpop:

By the way, A STRAIGHT GRIP 35 IS VERY HARD TO COME BY! Don't sell it for a 30-30 price tag, it is worth at least 2x that.

Just wanted to reiterate this.....

Can someone clarify what this means? (with pictures if possible)

Straight grip as opposed to pistol grip stock...


Straight grips on a 336 are known as 'Texan', and there were not a lot of them made in .35 Rem, so they tend to command a premium...

I agree with the other guys, straight grips are harder to find.

You might can tell that I strongly favor the straight grip...

Beautiful rifle, Stargazer; scope and all. Amen to the Spurgeon quote in your signature line as well.
