Them to start chambering the 336 in .308 and .338 Marlin Express again! I love Marlin lever actions, want some in longer range cartridges than 30-30, .35 Remington, or 45-70. Also want their rifles offered in stainless with synthetic stocks as a regular option. What would you like to see Ruger do with Marlin?

I’d like to see a 405win chambering but it would probably require a longer action.

My Ruger Super Redhawk and Marlin 1895 ss Guide gun are low maintenance because they are stainless steel. Having to carry them for days in the rain and snow, dust and mud of the Lower Yukon, on boats, ATV'S, and snowmachines gave me a new appreciation for stainless steel and synthetic stocks that I didn't have in Florida. Blued steel and wood stocks look better, I wholeheartedly agree, but functionality trumps looks when it comes to guns with me.

I couldn't get my 1894 to lift 305 grain bullets from the magazine tube to the barrel, they were too long.

A 336 16 inch barrel chambered in 44mag
basically the 336 compact with a 44 cal barrel also cut down on the cost to blue , just cerocoat all the parts flat black and put a short easy handling gun in 44 mag that doesn't cost twice as much.
why is a 1894 7-800 and a 336 compact 400
if they wanted to make it in 445 super mag that would be good also

I want a 336 guide gun in stainless/synthetic, chambered in .35 Rem.
Marlin made one years ago and I didn't buy one at the time. I've been kicking myself ever since.

Marlin made one years ago and I didn't buy one at the time. I've been kicking myself ever since. Marlin Lever guns went down hill when Rem. took them over.I hope Ruger fixes that.I have one of the old Marlins,,336CS 30/30.Ive killed a Bazillion deer with that gun.
