The 336 Marlin and 35 Remington ~ A time honored, classic duo!

Meet an incredibly rare and beautiful 1964 vintage Model 336 Marlin, chambered in the potent 35 Remington, and learn a bit about the history of the two that have been serving American hunters for nearly a century and a quarter.

[@garypark9934]

I really loved this. In 1972 I had saved enough money from working on a local dairy farm to buy my first rifle. A marlin 336c in 35 rem. As you , half my wage went into the household. A portion went to school cloths ,the rest I saved for my rifle. My father gave the local dealer the nod , on my behalf as in ,that's my boy and he will be good to his word. So for 10 bucks ,I was able to lay my rifle away. Every week on Friday I took my weekly take after what I owed the household. And buy Sept 30th I owned that rifle. My first deer with it came the same year. A shot of 7 yards. Talk about being the cock of the walk. My father and mother and bothers all thanked me in turn for the fine meal that my trusty 35 brought to the table. In 1977 I joined the air force in EOD. 8 years later I was out working as a sheriff's deputy. The little 35 was traded for a 280 rem. Years later another marlin 35rem came along and I tumbled to it. Always wishing I still had the rifle I left go. Looking back over the 200 hundred plus deer I've been blessed with since my first season in 1972. There is not a single deer that could not of taken with my 35. My longest shot in over 40 years has been a whopping 110 yards. That's only because he stepped into a logging road at that distance. All the rest anywhere from 7 to 50 yards. It's where I hunt. North eastern PA timber., the 94 win and 336 marlin are still a very common sight here. Loved the story. Thank you.

An excellent story. It lends insight also to how responsible young people were years ago. Thanks for sharing. It brought back so many memories.

Cheers to deer hunting in the Pocono woods.

[@Mike-zw7fq]

I enjoyed your vidio. I too had a paper route. The route was on a very hilly area. So my sisters boyfriend loaned me a 3 speed Schwinn to pull the bike trailer full of papers with. The bike and trailer were stolen from out front of my house. I didn't make any money and all I Got was some life lessons. But i eventually moved to Colorado and worked hard to become a good Cow Hand. And bought a Winchester big bore 94 in 375 win. That was a Nice gun. But like seemingly every young Man i sold it. And wish that i still owned it. Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.

I wish more people would give these old time tested proven cartridges and firearms the respect they’re due. If you mention 30-30 in a hunting community they Look at you in bewilderment as if the bullet may bounce off a deer

[@waynehendrix4806]

I have enough testimony from people I trust to believe that the 30-30, or even 5.56 do not bounce off a deer. Even on a mil base... Upper brass liked deer for dinner too...

[@ditto1958]

35 Remington is easy to load for, and very enjoyable to shoot. The recoil is more of a push than a snap and is more comfortable than 30-30 recoil. It’s fans swear by it for putting deer down in their tracks.

[@stevennewman4778]

It’s the same when I tell people I carry a .22 mag revolver in my pocket; they act like I carry a pellet gun. It’s lightweight, accurate, and will pierce anything it needs to should it ever be needed.

[@endutubecensorship]

I've always said in my area more food has been put on tables with 30-30 and 303 brit than any powerful/fast "modern" cartridges including moose. Nowadays people figure they need a cannon for moose lol

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

The .30-.30 is a favorite in WV where we hunt. It’s a great brush gun that is quick to aim. Open sights are great out to 125 yards, which is typically the max distance you will need for a white tail in the WV hills/forest.

Just purchased a marlin 336 in the 35 Remington manufactured in 1975. I purchased it for $200 it wasn’t in the best of shape and needed some TLC. However after a good restoration now looks as good as it did back in 75 and is now one of most prized leaver guns. It’s an absolute dream to shoot and has found it’s new forever home to be passed on to the grand kids someday. God bless you and thank you for another great video.

My dad was given a 336 in .35 Remington in 1955 for his graduation present. When I was old enough to hunt deer, he gave it to me. I'm in my 60s and I have never used any other rifle for deer and bear hunting. At 50 yards that gun shoots 1 inch groups with 200 grain Silvertips.

[@darylcopp9013]

I was given my Great Grandfather's 336 SC in 35 Rem that he purchased new in 1953. Worked up a load for it and it groups way better than it should. Took a doe with it this past season at 50 yards in the kneeling position. She fell where she stood. Wish manufactures and customers could see you don't need a fire breathing dragon of a cartridge for most hunting situations. Great gun, great cartridge.

Another great video!! I am 59 now but remember when I got my first 30-30 336 for Christmas back when I was 15 years old! The one thing I remember was the feeling that for the first time, I had a REAL rifle in my hands, especially compared to my bb and pellet rifles I had at the time. I remember the weight of the rifle and most of all I remember how tight the JM Marlin was when I worked the lever and pulled back the hammer and dreamed about all of the great times I was going to have with this rifle and it did not disappoint ..... I loved that rifle from the first time I held it and I still have it all of these years later and will never sell it. Still shoots as smooth and accurate as it did the first time I shot it. I have a lot of great memories with that rifle and it always brings a smile to me just to pick it up and shoulder it.. I have shot a lot of deer with that rifle and a 336 in a 35 Rem. and they are all a piece of art. Love these rifles! Great video and beautiful wood you have on the rifle you have in this video! Thanks for taking the time to make this video and all of the other videos you make, always look forward to your next video! thanks again... Martin....

[@Paladin1873]

"Schwinn bikes, the quality bikes, are best," or so Captain Kangaroo told us. My lever action experience didn't start out as well as yours. I bought my first one in the late 70s, a Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum. It would not cycle reliably. My gunsmith had to polish the lifter to get it to work. I later sold it and bought a Rossi Puma 357. The action was rough, so I eventually sold it and acquired a Miroku made Browning 92 in 44 Magnum. It was slick as glass and I still have it. I stayed away from Marlin lever guns until 2007 when I bought an 1895 Guide rifle in 45-70. Shortly after that purchase Marlin was sold to Remington and everything went south for a while. I had wanted a 336, but did not wish to purchase a Remlin, so I located a 1950s vintage flat top rifle without the cross-bolt safety. It was in 35 Remington, a cartridge I had long been curious about. I fitted it with a Skinner rear peep sight and it now serves as one my bear guns. The action is smooth as silk. Because it isn't pristine I don't mind using it as truck gun either. Yours is gorgeous and the wood is nicer than anything I've ever seen on a Marlin.

[@rickmansberger4136]

Good morning Sir, So nice to start the week with another great video story from you. I wanted you to know that my daughter recently started shooting and I directed to a bushel full of your videos to get her started off correctly. She got a new Springfield Armory Hellcat 9mm. She watched your new gun break in, cleaning, aiming videos, and many more. We went to the range for the first time and she was on target 8 on target seven of her first eight rounds. We could not shoot more than 2 rounds of eight because ammo is very hard to obtain here. So Sir, thank you for schooling my daughter and great to hear your words of wisdom and wonderful to Benny.

I sent it back to Marlin before they left Northhaven, Connecticut. This gun is a brand new 1964 336. It is now being used by the fourth generation to hunt with it. it’s not our favorite, but it is truly loved.

[@skiphinson8620]

Fantastic story and rifle. I too have a model 336 in .35 Remington. I got it new in 1974 when I was 15 years old. Though other rifles have come into my possession and serve the purpose they were obtained for, my good ol Marlin .35 is still my favorite deer rifle and sees use each season. I’ve taken countless deer with it. I’m a handloader and bullet caster and in my early years I loaded Hornady and Sierra 200 grain jacketed bullets for optimal hunting level accuracy and loaded Lyman’s gas checked 204 grain cast bullet for fun target and plinking loads but for the last 25 years or so I’ve been using my cast bullets for hunting with great results. I’ve found a load that is highly accurate with the cast bullet and it duplicates factory velocity levels. This is even in my micro groove barrel which is said to not shoot cast bullets well beyond 1600 FPS but that has not been the case with my rifle. It shoots cast very well at full velocity. Recently, I got Lee’s 200 grain .358 mold and casted up some beautiful flat nose bullets. Lubed and sized in my Lyman 450 sizer luber. I’m excited to develop this bullet in a good full speed load as well. Vintage Marlin 336’s are great rifles and the .35 Remington is the greatest match in them and seem to have magical effects on the game. It’s almost like you just can’t miss when the shot is presented. Never lost a deer I’ve shot with it and great satisfaction comes from casting my bullets and using my hand loads to fire in a great old rifle. I’m 62 years old and counting and the Marlin is special.

It's perfect for the woods. It shoots a 1.5" group at 100 yards. When my boys were young they laughed at me for using it as they thought it was outdated. But when they got older they stopped laughing as they noticed that I brought home deer every season. Now, they ask to borrow it. By the way, I love your videos. Your comments regarding scopes are spot on! Practical wisdom.

At the age of 18, and barely 120 pounds, my grandfather's Remington Model 81 Woodsmaster chambered in 35 Rem. was the first rifle I ever shot. I swear it felt like my head and shoulder had been severed clean off my body.

I had a used Model 8 in 35 Rem that was a gift from my father-in-law (an avid gun collector). It was amazingly accurate, but it wouldn’t cycle properly. A gunsmith said the bolt was broken and that parts were non-existent. I returned it to my father-in-law and he promptly gave me a Model 81 in 300 Savage. It’s an interesting piece but it’s just not the same as shooting that 35 Rem. A modified version of the rifle in 35 Rem (with a fixed 10 rd magazine) was used by law enforcement officers to take down Bonnie and Clyde. That was a huge amount of firepower and the condition of the vehicle after the ambush proved it. I think those models were just made to marry up with the 35 Rem cartridge. It was just a perfect round for that design. And it will drop any game on the planet.

@@useruser400 great caliber but not suitable for big/dangerous game.

@@talisikid1618 Your statement could apply to any caliber bullet on the market. If used within it’s designed kinetic envelope, the 35 Rem performs just fine on big and dangerous game.

@@talisikid1618 bullshit. Use it for what it was intended. The bigger the game, the closer the range. At close range, it is devastating

I've listened to this over, and over again. I can't love it enough! Too great how you worked your tail off to get this rifle, probably my most cherished rifle, warms my heart.

So nice! In fact, I carried it afield for the first time today on opening day. It's a great companion and nestles comfortably in the hand all day. No deer yet, but we'll keep hunting!

@@GunBlue490 I wish you great success this year! And God willing you'll take a magnificent buck with that beautiful 336!
