Whatever happened to the Marlin 35 Remington?

[41mag]

I went looking for a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington a few weeks ago.I looked at,literally,three dozen Marlins.ALL were in .30-30.Every single one of them.
Unbelievable.

Not too long ago,back in high school,it seems to me that every friend I had had one of these at home.Now it's not even cataloged.Wierd.

I felt so bad I went and bought another Smith to console myself.
I think that it's kinda sad though,the loss of a cartridge that is.

I had mine with me hunting this past weekend. They ain't dead yet!

Funny you say that i just had mine out last week. Put a few rounds through it, cleaned it and back in the case it went.

It is listed in the Marlin website - the 336C -available in 30-30- or 35 Rem. The 30-30- and 35 rem seem to be the same on paper but if you talk to those who have used both for hunting they will tell you that the 35 is much better - it just punches a bigger hole .Buffalo Bore now makes a nice 220gr load which I heard favorable comments on from deer shooters. Still used a lot here in NY.

Saw three of them, 2 used and 1 new, at a gunshow this past weekend.

My buddy had one for sale this weekend at my ranges annual swap meet. They are pretty popular here as there is a lot of brush hunting in this neck of the woods. I myself prefer the marlin in 45-70.

My wife's Grandpa has one and he says it's good for small to medium bear.

A friend of mine's only deer rifle is a Marlin in 35 Remington. I'd never heard of it until I asked what he used to hunt.

 

[armabill]

I have one. Used it for deer and bear.

Add mine to the list. 336CS that I bought as my very first deer rifle, and it's still my favorite.

I got mine in 1971 for $65 new.

That's too funny.

I turned one in 1971!

I had to pay $225 for my 1970 model that I got used in 1985. But it came with two boxes of ammo and a strong tobacco smell that took three years to wear off! Broke its scope in 1999 and put another one on it. Has see through mounts. Needed to loctite the screws myself.

I rechecked and the price was actually $77.99 out the door. Sorry about that.

My dad just picked up one the other day only because he couldn't turn down the deal. The rifle is a little on the rough side but still very serviceable. I imagine it will wind back up on a trading block somewhere.

Thanks,that makes it sooooo much better.

 

[armabill]

I thought it would. Accuracy you know.

The 336 in 35 Rem was my first deer rifle too. I wonder how many started out this way? Still have it and intend to pass it down to my son.
