Shooting the Marlin 336, .35 Remington to 240 Yards.

[@CoryD21]

Just found the video… I myself am a Marlin .336 .35 Remington lever action owner and I too have had good luck with 200+ yard shots… good video great rifle.. take care brother

It’s Really Great to see So Many People Creating this re-surgance in the Round (35 Rem.) I know by the time I started Hunting 1979, it was already on the endangered list, now 2021 and is more recognized Now than the last 45 years!! We (shooters) are not willing to let another wonderful Big Game Cartridge go Extinct!

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Couldn’t agree more. I’m trying to do my part. There will be more videos. Now I’d like to get my hands on a .32 Special. I imagine it will take a while.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

Sounds like I am in the same age group as you. In my areas 35 Rem was popular but not as popular as much as 30-30. Most of these new kids that works in places like in Walmart, Cabela's etc... they don't know. Seems like always was easy find ammo etc... for 35 Rem. Then after these 222s and 223 and 5.56s came popular then seemed like 35 Rem became almost obsolete.

[@markhansen8078]

I have a 336 in .35rem and I like it. The 35 packs a punch with a 200 grain bullet and is big medicine. A very capable rifle and caliber. I put a peep sight on mine. I use mine for hogs and deer and my shots are rarely over 75 yards and most are 50 yds or less.

[@gunboom]

Same here...

[@richardhackman7274]

I have my dad's 35 marlin, a great gun !

[@auMr.Pocket]

My 35 has been consistent at 250 yds, and the new "Leverlution" 35s are consistent to 350. You need a scope for that because hunting on the fly you don't have time to adjust that rear sight and you can't see the target at angle of trajectory. Love my 35, carried for 45+ years. Whitetail, Mulie, and Elk never more than one 200gr shot. Brush buster from 1906.

[@davidsoul6823]

Nothing will part me from my JM 35 Remington.....when it hits whitetails, you don't need to track them.

[@Maine307]

I have my granddad's .35 rem model 14.. I am very interested in your load recipe for the bullets. maybe you can do a video on that as well? Very glad to see this 35 punch out to that distance! merry xmas

[@SuburbanRifleman]

I will look into doing such a video. KZbin is a bit skittish about videos which detail manufacture of ammo but I think I can give out some load data. Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@matthewcornelison4786]

I love it when doubters become believers in the facts that leverguns aren’t just toys they’re proven capable work horses. 30-30, 35 Remington, 375 Winchester, 444 marlin. 44 magnum. So many folks don’t have faith in these rifles to kill game at distance outside 100 yards. Great video and good shooting by the way

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Thank you!

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

I do have the 4 out of the 5 calibers you mentioned. Will admit, very good calibers. But outside of 100 yard or 150 or past to 200 yards I should say, there are much better caliber options like 308 Win, 30-06 etc... then these calibers.

[@johncormier646]

@@airbornesoldieramerica7125 Savage model 99 in 300 Savage is an option for those longer shots.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

@@johncormier646 Just surprised 300 Savage is not as popular as the 30-06 etc....Did read or heard the 308 Win was originally copied from the 300 Savage, and ever since 308 Win came out in 1950s it quickly passed up the 300 Savage to no popularity no more. Also read or heard 300 Savage really went downhill and really lost its popularity in 1960s, but since most of those older guys that used to own or use them for hunting, most of those people are long gone now, or they would be in their 80s or 90s if not older now, if they are still around.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

@@airbornesoldieramerica7125I agree. 200 yards, maybe 250 with the Leverevolution, is about top end. But like many tools, used within the constraints of its design and intention, it’s a very good choice!

[@tripplebeards3427]

The 35 Rem is accurate with a load I likes. I hand load a 200 grain cast hollow point with 40 grains of varget. At200 yards it shoots MOA. It drops about 9” at 200 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. The big issue is figuring out the drops and where to aim at longer distances. I don’t shoot over a 100 yards with mine deer hunting but it’s fun to see how far it will shoot accurately.

[@SuburbanRifleman]

I’ll try that load. I have a new box of cast bullets. Thanks!

[@doch1365]

Love it! I have a 1963 336C in 35 Rem with a Redfield 3-9-X50 and it's dead nuts at 100 yards and 2 1/4" low at 200 running Hornady Leverevolution 200gr FTX.

[@chris.a.1]

Those gongs are a great addition! Punching paper is fine and all, but this turns you into a thinking man's hickock45 :) Looking forward to more long-range gong action!

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Already planning more. I’m afraid I’m addicted to the ringing steel now! Bring something with a fun trajectory on up sometime and we’ll go knock the hell out of some steel!

[@SuperDarkbringer]

Cool video! Perfect light...fun shooting!

[@SuburbanRifleman]

[@oom-george]

I know that I'm prejudiced, but that was a great video. You don't need to do load development, you need to figure out what that load is that you were shooting today.

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Thank you!

[@clintonlayne9253]

A few years ago I pickup a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. I took it out to the Black Hills of South Dakota deer hunting. Unfortunately I never got a shot.until the next trip . I did fill my tag with a 5x5 Whitetail Buck I used my 280 Browning A bolt I shot 3 deer in three days with it

[@davewinter2688]

With my 1967 Marlin 336RC 35 Remington loaded with Hornady 200 grain LeverEvolution I can keep 5 shots inside a 6 inch circle at 200 yards offhand. That's with 3-9 scope set about 4 power. Haven't tried any farther. Not planning on trying any shots at deer farther than that and preferably closer.

[@dalekehrer2421]

You know, it's not a 1000 yd cartridge. I don't see why these straight wall states won't allow 35 Rem and 30-30 to be used when the new straight walls shoot as far. These two rounds are well over 100 yrs. old and tons of hunters already use them. IL only allows single shots, yet you can still have 3 rounds in a 200 yard slug gun. DUH !

[@larrysayers1377]

Great video. Nice shooting.

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Thank you!

[@MrRdvs87]

Where are you even getting this ammo from? I lucked into some, but the only times I’ve seen it after that had it going for crazy prices.

[@SuburbanRifleman]

I haven’t been able to locate any either. I’ve got a handful of brass and loading dies. I’m just making do with what I’ve got.

[@tykeni6521]

I’d be interested to see how you do with a little more powerful scope. Nice vid!

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Thank you! I did just come into a few new (to me) scopes. I might try a 2-7x35 Burris or Leopold on it. The biggest problem right now is finding some brass or loaded ammo. It doesn’t seem to be available anywhere and I have, literally, a handful of brass to work with.

[@tykeni6521]

@@SuburbanRifleman right! My favorite gun is a 35 rem and finding ammo has been tough.

[@guaporeturns9472]

Another thoroughly enjoyable video. When did Marlin start installing safeties on the 336? Right around 83 I believe. Yeah I would definitely be leaving the scope on it it were my rifle but hey , it’s not is it? Really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas and hope you have a good year.

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Yes. It was 1983. Both of my 336s are from the first year of crossbolt safety production. And the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the scope should stay on the rifle. Thanks, as always and Merry Christmas!

I have not. I think I’ve got a box of them in my reloading supplies but I haven’t tried them yet.

[@brye0377]

I love the video , What scope mounts are good for the marlins ? and which scope are your using ?

[@SuburbanRifleman]

Thank you! The scope base is just a Weaver 63B (48069). The scope is a 1x Vortex Crossfire. It was made specifically for muzzleloaders. I don’t think it’s in production anymore. Any low power, good quality, scope would be fine for this application.

[@davejones67]

Nice range. Where is it?

[@SuburbanRifleman]

It is a nice range. University Rifle Club. Near Reading Pennsylvania. I’ve changed clubs since. My new club doesn’t have as long a range but it’s much more convenient to get to.

I haven’t. I plan on doing a bunch of reloading this winter. I really only have a handful of brass. Midway keeps assuring me that ammo is arriving “soon” but I don’t know what that means.

For reloaders of the 35 Rem I use 200 grain Barns TTSX bullets then load one in the chamber and round noise in the tube magazine. This load kills everything graveyard dead! My load is 36 grains of W740 powder under the 200 grain Barns TTSX bullet . I get greatly improved accuracy from this load to 3/4 inch consistent groups @ 100 yards . The round noise bullets group at 2 inches. There isn't any reason why not to load this Barns bullet in the chamber first.
