If Ruger follows through with the 336 Marlin - 06/20/22 06:59 PM

And chambers a .35 Rem, do ya think it will make the ammo more available and perhaps cheaper? Holy Moly, it's hard to find here and when ya do it's between 2.50/3.50 a round.

Did Ruger buy the Marlin rights from Remington? I hope so.

No it'd have to be a 350 legend or creedmoor or 358 John Wick

Ammo is easier to get and cheaper then the .35 too!

I have seen print ads for the new Ruger made Marlin rifle . I feel that at some point they will make lever action .in a .35 Rem. caliber . The Marlin 336 has a lot of tradition behind it And with the Ruger name involved in ownership they will try to capitalize on the history of the caliber ,model ,and company name .

they bought Marlin from the Remington bankruptcy so they one all of the designs and unsure about the tooling

they have relaesed and are selling the 1895 and 1895 trapper in 45-70 , next up for release is the 336 in 30-30- and 35rem

after that the 1894 , I would assume in 44mag , maybe 357 and 45lc

35 rem in 336 would be very nice

I am in a friends will to receive his old 336 in 35 Rem. He will be a friend for life, and then some. He never married and only has one heir. She is a nun and cannot own property. Sort of sad.

Yes, Ruger owns Marlin - period.
They are currently producing the 1895 45/70 rifle in several versions, with plans to produce the 336 and 1894 models in 2023. They're slowly catching up as Ruger has had to (and still is) rebuilding, retooling, etc, their manufacturing facilities to produce a full line of Marlin lever guns again.

Pete, it's a awesome gun it's just the availability and price of the ammo. I only have myself to blame though, I should have stocked up years ago and got in to reloading. I'm just hoping that when Ruger makes the 336 in 35 the ammo gets more popular and comes down in price.

I wish they would make a 336 in 7-30 waters. They only made them in a Winchester 94 and are hard to find.

Ken Water's 7-30 never garnered much of a following, not that it wasn't an interesting cartridge. I think the only chance you'll have at owning a 7-30 Water's is to buy a used Winchester.

I have my Dad's old 336A in .32 Win. Spl. It has a 24" barrel with a 2/3 magazine.
He shot a buck with it in northern Wisconsin that won a 7 county contest back in 1954
when I was 2 months old.

I've handled (fondled) a Marlin like that. Well balanced, would be a joy to hunt the big timber with. About 20 years ago I picked up a 336 Cowboy (30-30), which has a 24" octagon barrel. A scary accurate rifle.

My buddy has a 336 in 35Rem bought in the 70? Still new in the box. It’s for sale

Re: If Ruger follows through with the 336 Marlin - 06/20/22 09:38 PM

I don't think anything's going to bring down the price or availability of hunting ammunition.Henrys had a lever action chambered in .35 out now for a few years,if Ruger puts out a .35 too will it make a difference?I don't see it.Winchester,Henry,Pedersoli all have lever actions chambered in 38/55,Our local gun store just got some of Winchesters offering in that caliber,$80 a box of twenty.

Doesn't Hornady still make the FTX LeveRevolution ammo in .35 Rem? I already have plenty of loaded ammo, brass, and bullets for this caliber.

If they make another one of those 336's in .35 Rem with stainless and the laminated stocks, short mag tube, I may have to buy one. I sure wish I had bought one back when Marlin sold them.

Better off getting a new 336 in 30-30 unless you have some real specific reason for 35 Remington. It kills just as dead and ammo is generally easier and cheaper. 35 Remington is a very low use caliber in comparison no matter how cool it is. Even when ammo was plentiful it was not as available or cheap. They are very expensive guns from Ruger now though, but they look to be very high quality to me. I love my old 336. I gave it to my son and he has killed several deer with it. It’s very accurate and fun to use.

Re: If Ruger follows through with the 336 Marlin - 06/21/22 02:39 PM

I have a Marlin 336 S. C. chambered for .35 Rem. It was built in 1953. My dad shot his first buck with it, I shot my first buck with it, my daughter shot her first buck with it and hopefully my granddaughter will shoot her first buck with it this year.

I was at a local gun shop late last year and saw seven boxes of .35 Rem ammo someone had given the owner to sell for them . They were $25.00 per box. I bought all seven boxes which almost doubled my supply of them.

Re: If Ruger follows through with the 336 Marlin - 06/21/22 03:01 PM

I have a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem also It was purchased new in 1972 I like it a lot but after a few years I switched to using a bolt action . Even though I am left handed and am using a righted rifle I prefer a bolt action rifle I have found I never missed out on getting a deer because I did not fire enough rounds .But a lever action is a nice gun to carry .And someone that is a good shot can kill a deer no mater what type of gun they use Lugnut has it right a large part of the joy of hunting is the traditions we create while sharing the time with friends and family

I love the 35 but now a 30-30 is looking pretty good.

Lug, I'd have snagged all that ammo too, that was a fair deal!

I have an 1894 in 357 mag made in 81 in like new condition. It's my first gun I have owned I was worried about taking g it out and putting beauty marks on it.

I hope the new one go back to the nice slim wood loke mine had instead of that 3/4" proud crap like the last ones they made.

If the quality on the new ones is good I can see me buying some in 35rem 30/30 357 mag and if offered 350 legend. The legend because I'm sure it won't be offered in 357 maximum and legend ammo has been available and relatively cheap.

I don't think you will ever see a 350 legend 336 , the locking lug is in the wrong place to take that much pressure

henry could make a long-ranger in 350 if they wanted but other than filling a niece market in strait wall states there is nothing a 350legend does that a 308win doesn't do better and they already make that.

Really ? The bullet companies would have to design and market a new family of bullets to use in tubular magazines. The 308 MX and 338 MX used existing round and/or flat nosed bullets, back when.
I suspect Ruget/Marlin may bring those back.
The above suggestions would certainly be some interesting cartridges.

But you see I'm in one of those caliber restricting states for public land hunting. That said a 357 mag from a carbine does a very nice job. Still I prefer a 243, 7mm08 ect but I don't need them just like the bang flop instead of short tracking jobs.

But a 357 mag factory threaded would be very nice.

I get it I hunt one of the very few shotgun and pistol only townships in WI shot 2 with a 300blk pistol last year thinking my 20ga slug gun this year with sabots my son got one also now I am also tired of the tracking , it doesn't mater how short it is in the last minutes of shooting light it is too long.

Longest 300 black out pistol tracking job I have had was 35 yards using 110 v max. The rest dropped or stumbled and floped maybe 10 to 15 yards.

.40cal 20 g sabots I have them go out to 70 yards. 12g foster rifled slug they always seem to drop. But 357 mag us about the cheapest round I can load to hunt with that does a great job.

My boys use several different guns and the x bow so they get a lot of variety.
