Marlin 336 35 Remington

[Cal44]

Well, it seems I'm in Marlin mode recently.

Just picked up my 336CS in 35 Remington -- after the 10 day jail term (the rifle, not me).

It came with scope rings that are mounted very high and have a "tunnel" you can look through to use the iron sights.

Not sure how that will work because I have to hold the rifle differently to look through the scope rings.

I can always take them off, and go with iron sights exclusively.

My son has taken a lot of Pennsylvania deer with a 336 in .35 Remington. He says recoil is pretty heavy, but it gets the job done.

I love the 336--still miss the one in .30-30 I had many years ago.

I love mine. You may be surprised how well it shoots.
I like the 200 gr Remington Core Lokts

Ditch the see-through mounts for Leupold STD types

I love Marlin lever actions, got 3 of em, two 1895 45-70's and a 336 in 30-30.... I'm not a big fan of the "see-thru" scope rings, you might want to replace those.....35 Remington is really sweet, congratulations.

My very first centerfire rifle was a Marlin .35 that I bought from JC Penny's on sale when I was 14 years old, around 1973, and paid a little over 66 dollars for it. I sold it and was without a lever rifle for over 25 years and recently bought a great condition JM Marlin 30/30 with see through mount and cheap scope from a pawn shop for $265. I installed a Weaver V1-3X and Weaver Low Rings and a Warne base for the lowest possible scope mount and I think it will be deadly on running coyotes.

I have one that groups best with the Hornady Leverevolution 200 grainers (it's about a 3 inch gun). Mine has the flip-over scope mount so you can use the irons (a hinge along the left side of the base allowing you to rotate the scope off to the side). Seems to hold the zero pretty well. My dad traded for it with a Minolta camera in the seventies.

Just this past fall I graduated to the 350 Rem Mag when I purchased an old Model 600. I love this critter. Bagged an elk, too.

The Marlin 336 in 35 Rem was my Dad's deer rifle for his whole life and it put a lot of venison on the table. I bought one for myself a number of years ago and it's my "truck gun".

First; ditch the see-through scope mounts, they're a lot better in theory than they are in practice. Second, while the case shoulder can make them a little tricky to reload there are a number of bullets that can be used from .357 pistol bullets for plinking (mine likes 158 grain gold dots) to 220 grain rifle bullets. A lot of guys will tell you that their accuracy is limited to "minute of deer" but in fact, they're capable of much more than that. Have fun with a terrific little rifle.

I had one years back and took a couple deer with it.

Being I was hunting in the mountains of NY state where most shots would be in heavy cover with hardly a shot over 75 yards I refrained from putting a scope on. Had no problem shooting it at a 100 yards at our range with just iron.

That approach worked fine for years till I got access to some prime areas in downstate that had some very open areas I then switched to a scoped 25.06 and foolish sold that nice Marlin!

i have a lot of marlins. years ago i used the see-throughs but got rid of all of them and use Talley Lightweight lows on all my levers and pumps. they are one peice ring and base and work perfectly for marlins. you can find them online at

Talley Lightweight One-Piece Alloy Scope Mounts

call them up and order what you need right from the people who make them.

i shoot either the rem corelokt 200 or the hornady LE in mine. both shoot great. the 35 rem is a great whitetail cartridge.
