Marlin 336 30-30. Thoughts and comments on this rifle?

[REM700J]

I have an opportunity to pick up one for $250. Any personal experiences and advise would be great. Thanks in advance.

My personal exeriences are with a presafety model and they're absolutely fantastic deer rifles. Assuming it shoots well 250 is a good price.

If it looks good buy it.

Pre 2009 which is what I had, and sold for more than that, are great rifles.

Around that time however there seemed to be a huge downturn in quality out of the Marlin levers.

The older ones are awesome rifles. For that price I wouldn't hesitate.

I think the dude is just bragging about his $250 336.....if it's not a remlin, then what are you waiting for?....go for it

One of the best deer and black bear rifles out there.Don't let it slip thru your fingers.

If it's in any kind of shape, it could very well be the best priced one on here yet.
Not too often they are listed for under $300 and if so, they are snapped up quickly.
Go on'er if it's in any kind of shooting shape.

Even if you end up mot liking it, I think you'd easily break even on it in the future.

I've got one myself, and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it's a beauty to sit and look at

They are 400 new so?Still a Marlin...

I have one that was built in the 50's, shot lots of deer with it. They all died. They work well. Buy it.

A continuation of more useless dribble...........just wow...........

I own one , very acurate little beast. Performs well. Easy rifle to pack, never has given me any problem.

If you don't want the rifle for $250, pass the info along to one of us looking for a lever gun

 

[emerson]

If it looks in decent shape I'd buy it.

 

[REM700J]

So thanks everyone, I bought it . Can't wait to shoot it. It even came with the scope. Thought it was just irons. Any Idea about cost on the williams peep sights I am hearing so much about??

Get it up here on photos.
Not sure if a Williams FP 94-36 will fit or not.
Got one of them here.
PM me if your interested.
Be willing to bet you will like this lever.
Smooth action, great feed and the trigger is just about right.
Cheers.
Looky.

At that price I'd have bought it if it appeared to be in good serviceable condition, and I don't even want one. I hope it works out well for you.

Rem700J,
I've had a Marlin 336 in 30-30 since the seventies.
It's a great rifle - smooth operation and real easy carrying,
fits like a glove! + Ammo is available everywhere.

The Marlin 336 is a serious improvement over the Winchester 94, it's parent rifle design, but at $250 you got seriously ripped off...

Parent rifle design was the Marlin 1893....you know, the one that came out a year before the Winchester 1894.......
