Section 6: Rifles Subject: Marlin M336 Msg# 889115

I've always heard that the .30-30 and the .35 Remington had similar ballistics but the .35 was capable of handling a bigger bullet. I bought my old Marlin 336 in .35 Remington for standby yard defense but I did take it for a walk out behind the house last year looking for a suicidal deer or elk. I hiked to a rocky perch above the crossing of two game trails but didn't see anything.
I'm starting to have trouble seeing the Williams aperture sight and have a short 4X Leupold scope with rings and bases for it, I just need to get around to putting them on. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Nice looking gun, badlander - it puts my own beat-up 336 to shame! Good choice of caliber, too. I may be kidding myself, but I think the .35 Remington is much superior to the .30-30 for eastern woods hunting! I like that high-mounted scope, too. My own low mount creates some hammer interference problems unless very critically placed and I have to use an accessory side spur on the hammer which can walk and create problems itself!
