.I have bought a nice Marlin

[Skeet 028]

I decided to buy the gin even though it was in 35 Rem caliber. and is short maf length like a 64 Win, I have a question or two though. The gun s a no safety and it is not frilled and tapped for a scope. It has a roll engrave receiver top with little squiggles to reduce glare I guess. ...When did they start drilling and tapping their rifles...Gun is nice as is the wood I paid more than I wanted but what the heck. think I can always get my money out of it. If my daughter gets back soon,... I will get her to post some pics...I hope

I'd guess it's a 336 S.C.

Guns with the frame squiggles are referred to as a waffle top. That ended in 1951.

Sounds like a great gun!

I knew I had heard a name for them...but oldtimers got me on the name. Hard to find ammo for but a friend back east is sending me brass and bullets to load for tt. Thanks for the help

A Marlin in 35 Remington is a highly sought after rifle back here in PA. Can't be beat for hunting whitetails in the woods.

Heck...to be honest I'd use it for an elk at woods(forest) ranges. I also have a Remington pump in 35 Remington...never shot it. I have a Lyman receiver sight I will mount on it. . I have a matched pair of Remington 1100s I am going to sell to pay for all the newest acquisitions
