Question

Mines a W.

JD: I figured you had. I must be getting old, because everybody i know now and knew then have a Marlin 336. You're right it's sad. Hey did you happen to notice that H&R is now scoping their Handi rifle youth model .243's? LOL. Guess they liked that idea.

Check it out.

I would highly suggest to anyone getting involved in hunting for the first time should first stop and check out Marlin and/or H&R firearms. These guys probably got just exactly what you're looking for at a very affordable price, not to forget to mention reliability, and quality of product. They are most certainly an american tradition in firearms.

I'll keep sending them business.

Doc: My first Marlin was a used 30AW. But you know what, ever since i got rid of that one, i couldn't help but think that something was missing. That's when i bought my 336W. The kids will own one as well. It's just tradition.

Ret Sgt: You need to get on the horn with the governor of Illinois. What the hell is wrong with those ppl?

Now i see why you come down to my neck of the woods. And you guys are covered in deer!!!

Will they allow you to use single shot rifles?

I'm sorry but that's just bullshit.

Man oh man.

Answer 1

Had one and a Winchester 94. Cant hunt in Illinois with them so they are long gone. Now I have a reproduction Winchester 73. Still cant hunt with it but its a nice companion for my repro Colt Model P.

Answer 2

I got a 336. I have always been intrigued by the lever action, but just never got around to buying one until recently. It's mostly because of a bad experience with one. Back when I was taking hunter's safety as a kid I had to use a lever 30-30 for some sort of a test. Prior to this I had never used a lever gun and while demonstrating my knowledge of the action, I accidentally dropped the hammer (my thumb slipped) and I got scolded and failed whatever test we were doing.

Anyway I did buy a 336 and it has been one sweet little gun. Accurcay is good, and a reasonably fast second shot is possible with one. They are quite popular with young adult hunters in my area.

Answer 3

Mt grandad had one. He got it in the early 50s and used it to bring home Louisiana whitetail for 30 years. Lyman tang sight, no scope needed.

My uncle has it, he's in his 80s and promised it to me, but we'll see. First centerfire rifle I shot, probababy about 11 or 12. I remember that well.

It rode in a rear window pickup rack for years, then in a scabbard behind the seat when you couldn't trust the world with a rifle in plain view anymore. Looks it to, from what I recall.

Answer 4

No 336. Too heavy. Model 94.

I had a M-30AS, a cheap version of the M-336, but had to sell it after Katrina took half my roof.

doc

Answer 7

Scary isn't? A whole generation that doesn't know what a Marlin 336 is..Amazing.. I've had a couple, two,three in my lifetime........

Answer 8

Never owned one, and don't plan on owning one, outside of deer hunting, the 30-30 isn't very useful.

Answer 9

nope I never did not that the 30/30 is bad I just don't like lever guns I prefer bolt action
