Marlin 336

[RevolverRodger]

I got a new Marlin 336SS. Love how it looks and handles.
One thing I find strange is that the trigger will wiggle forward and backwards alot (not as tight as other rifles I have). The triggerpull is still nice and works ok otherwise.
I was just wondering if this was normal on the Marlin 336.

Yes it is. They have movement which should have no effect on performance.

Thank you my friend

is that wiggle called trigger creep?

Nope. The trigger actually wiggles loosely on Marlin levers. Trigger creep is when the trigger must be pulled back any noticeable distance before the sear releases.
