Thread: Marlin 336 ss

Righto folks!

Kinda crossing my mind to grab a Marlin 336 ss in 30-30 as a quick bush gun for round here and can absolutely see the merits of one for my intended purpose but what I'm wanting to know is a few first hand experiences of the mentioned rifle.

Cheers

Hi RRAH Dont have the ss one had it over 25 years cant comment on the remington built marlins mine old one is a great up close bush gun unscoped need to be carefull around dogs if pigging 3030 can go through some pigs up close. Have shot several deer in the roar when things get up close exciting stuff works great go for it you will enjoy the change in style now and then I do

Had one in 308mx, wish I never sold it, under inch at 100 with the factory ammo

Had a blued Remington made Marlin for 10 days. It had a misthreaded barrel what I did not noticed at the shop so back it went. Than grabbed a SS Rossi 30-30 for half the price.

Had a 3030 in the UK for many years, made in 74, having worked on Rossi rifles I would give them a miss, and the Winchester is far to much rattle, Marlins are mean,t for bush work, easy to put a scope on if you want or a red dot.

My plan is to pop a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40(or a 50 if they make one) with the triangle post reticle. The reason for the magnification range is to get to largest objective lenses for sucking in the light in the bush without having a ultra heavy tank of a thing whilst still staying under the $1k mark
