I bought a new Marlin 336 in 1979 for $125. It's currently in my Son-in-Laws possession. He's holding it in trust for my grandson . It's still in excellent condition .
All these comments from people that have had a 336 since the seventies were refreshing to read. Made my day. Products CAN be made well and to last. Definitely considering this rifle.
@@HuskerHuntingdon't overlook the .35 Remington . 200 grain Hornady Lever evolution round drop deer in their tracks ! Lots of deer have fallen to the .35 Remington.
When I hunted in the mountains of New York State in the 1960's, my go to rifle was the Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. I purchased it for somewhere around $150. That was the ultimate brush country deer rifle. The only reason I sold it was that I moved to New Mexico. I then switched to a Remington 721 in .270 Winchester with a 4x scope which was all the rifle I needed for any New Mexico big game. I also owned a beautiful customized Japanese Arisaka in .300 Savage. Nice rifle but it had a slim lightweight stock and licked like a mule.
I picked up a 336, in 30-30, 3 years ago. It was made in 1996. In original box with original owners manual. It only had 5 rounds put thru it to site it in. In mint condition.
I like the rifle, its looks, and the Skinner sights. I have an older, 1980s 357mag Marlin 1894CB and I added the Skinner sights. They work like a champ.
I have several of both the 336 and 1894 Marlins stamped JM as well as the new Marlins by Ruger and personally think the Ruger Marlins are the best. The quality is as good as a custom gun as far as fit and finish. And they are offering several great models, I would like to see the 336 offered in a straight wall cartridge for the states that require them.
thats a great little package i have several of the 2000's davidson's special runs. my 336 sdt is one of my favorites. they need to bring that trapper out in the 35.
I really enjoy watching your video, straight to the point and a brief history of Marlin. I have the new Ruger- Marlin 1894 Trapper 357 Mag/38 Special. The rifle is very well made like you have described, very accurate and definitely a keeper for the next generation.
Looks like a great rifle for the platte bottoms I used to hunt. Got my first deer with Marlin 3030 Texan close to Ashland 1972. Iowa now using 44mag and 35 rem in two Marlin pre Remingtons. 👍
I have on OG from 1978(around) I bought it for 99.00. Took it out last September. I brought down a 250lb boar charging me at q0 yds. Talk about quick target acquisition. It slid i to the dirt and disnt move. So I jist picked up the new 336 Trapper. Next pig hunt Im going to use it.
Marlin lever action rifles are a fine example of American made. I have harvested most of my black bears with a 30/30 lever action rifle of the 18 bears I have harvested.
I just came across your channel and really liked your style and great review of this Marlin Ruger manufactured 30-30. Now I’m thinking of buying one if these rifles. I’m a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for your extensive knowledge as well as your great review too.
LOL at the $1,239 MSRP of the basic 336 Classic (and $1,499 MSRP for the Trapper model featured in this video). A Marlin 336 used to be an affordable option for someone who wanted a deer rifle (same goes for the Winchester 94). I have a Shooter's Bible from 2001 and a basic Marlin 336 (336CS), blued with a checkered walnut stock, had an MSRP of $493, and a birch stock version (336AS) was also available with an MSRP of $418. They also made a stainless steel version (336M) with an MSRP of $591, and that was with a real walnut stock (checkered) which is more expensive than the cheap, ugly laminated stock on the one in this video. The Winchester 94 started at $347 MSRP for the Ranger model, $398 MSRP for their standard non-checkered walnut stock model, and $430 MSRP for their checkered walnut stock model. "Inflation" doesn't justify them costing so much now. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI inflation calculator, $1 in 2001 translates to $1.80 today, so multiply those 2001 MSRPs by 1.8 to find out what the current MSRPs should be. For example, the stainless steel version has an MSRP that's around $450 too high, and that's even if you ignore the fact that it has cheap glorified plywood furniture instead of walnut. And yes, I know that they sell for significantly less than MSRP at an actual gun shop, but that was the case in 2001 too, and the 1990s, and the 1980s, and the 1970s, and so on.
I had the Sears version back in the 70s. It looked like someone tore down a barbed wire fence with it but it did the job. I wish Ruger would move a little quicker with their production plans.
I've been lusting over this one for quite a while. I have yet to pull the trigger. I do mule packing and live in the woods, so this would really be perfect.
I'll share with you some wisdom my brother gave me twenty or thirty years ago: stop tucking your t-shirts in. You're welcome. I wish they made that in .357
Rossi has introduced a R95 in Nth America, chambered in 357, 44 magnum, 444 and 360 I think. Shares the same design so can use aftermarket parts designed for this rifle. I’m waiting for Rossi to release this in Australia
I have a Rossi R-95 chambered in 30-30 and a new Marlin 336 Classic. Both have hammer forged barrels, and the Rossi surprised me with its accuracy. The Marlin has better wood, checkering, wood to metal fit, and overall just feels better made. However, the Rossi is a perfectly good tool. In addition, Rossi made 2 changes to the 336 action which I think are real improvements. First, they did away with the 2-piece firing pin and went with a modern firing pin block. Second, they got rid of the 19th Century spring around the bolt extractor and went with a Remington 700 style extractor. I still like the Marlin better …
For years, the marlin lever guns were among the cheapest centerfire hunting weapons out of all centerfire rifles . Now you can buy a good bolt action cheaper than the marlin lever action .
Marlin firearms were originally built & priced for working class folks, as were Ruger to a lesser extent. Now they are a fashion statement and should also be advertised in COSMO magazine.
I’ll agree with you that they’re a little spendy, but then again it seems everything is a lot higher now than it was even a few years ago, let alone 15-20. Thanks for watching!
I've got a 336 Marauder in .35 Rem. I've got an old 1.5x5 x28(?)mm Weaver scope with post reticle. I picked it up used in the 1980's. It's been well used but not abused. My #1 deer gun. Short, light, powerful, & accurate.
Wanted a 30-30 version of the trapper but last year only the 45-70 was available. The 45-70 kicks like a mule. I'm looking to trade it for the new 30-30.
Chambered in 35 Rem., it would be absolutely perfect. BTW...I can remember buying 35 Rem. ammo for ten dollars a box. I think I even remember getting them for $8.99/box.
With all due respect to the naysayers, *"There is no such thing as an inexpensive handgun, shotgun, or rifle that is simultaneously high-quality."* The two terms do not go hand-in-hand. Ruger resurrected Marlin from business extinction, and that rescue cost them hundreds of millions of dollars that won't be repaid to investors and shareholders for decades. If one wants an inexpensive lever-action rifle that is of lesser quality than the Ruger Marlin's, then go purchase an import manufactured overseas where wages are exponentially lower than in the United States.
I think the general consensus is that the Ruger made Marlins are better produced and manufactured, but as far as reliability I think both the Ruger and Remington made Marlins are plenty reliable. Thanks for watching!
I would be cool to see what sort of velocities your getting from this. Maybe even compare it to a 20 inch 30-30 and see what sort of difference you'd get.
I was thinking the same thing...the 20in 3030 is moving at like 2200 w 170s...thats probably one reason I wouldn't want this...just get a 762x39 in 16in and you get 20in 3030 velocities
I am estimating 16 to 20 fps per inch of barrel loss. That is about true for most standard velocity centerfires (not magnums, not the small bullet launchers with crazy velocities). Again, I am estimating from my experiences, not staking a claim. It might be fun to do a test and know, or just chrono the short rifle.
@@johntempest267 That's not really what the question was about. More like trying to confirm ideas I've been going over but I don't have a way to verify myself.
Ruger didn’t “re-tool” production. They built an entirely new factory to manufacture the new Marlins. By the time Remington bought Marlin, the old machines were pretty worn out. Also, the new Marlins have hammer forged barrels with normal rifling. No more Microgroove rifling. They are more accurate than you might expect from a lever action. A 16” barrel in .30-30 doesn’t appeal to me much but YMMV. You probably lose 200 fps vs. a 20” barrel, and .30-30 isn’t the most potent cartridge out there. Some older Marlin and Winchester .30-30s had 22” or even 24” barrels for a reason. In contrast, 16” gets just about everything out of .44 Magnum. I have a new Marlin 1894 Trapper in .44 Magnum, and it’s a sweet, handy rifle!
Thanks for the comments! I’ve shot just over a box through this rifle. It shoots high for me, but manageable. I’d like to chrono it just to see what muzzle velocity is versus something like a Model 94.
@@chipsterb4946Yes, unfortunately out of the box I can only get about 1/3 of a turn lower on the rear sight. I was hoping to get at least a 1/2 turn and flip the aperture to the other side but no luck. Lots of threads to raise it, but it’s bottomed out for me. I might call Ruger/Marlin to see options.
I like the looks of the picatinny on the SBLs with the 19” barrel, but also like the stripped down look of just the skinner sights on this 16”. A guy could put a rail on fairly easily. Thanks for watching!
Nice... Two questions come to mind. How are you able to obtain this new addition. When it is virtually impossible to get the first one that came out in .45-70 ? Second, Ruger had the audacity to make proprietary minor changes to the Ruger /Marlin [.45-70]. So parts from both the original Marlin and the Remington Marlin do not interchange. Then, they announced they would not provide any repair services to any other than the Ruger Marlin version. So it's probably safe to say this applies to this one as well ? Not to mention that the price went up considerably.
I picked this one up from Sportsman’s Warehouse. From what I understand, several of the parts from the previous generation are interchangeable. I saw a video with one of the Marlin folks that specifically asked that question. Thanks for watching!
Nice rifle, I'd like to get my hands on one, i have a remington made marlin 30-30 in stainless, i got lucky the one i bought looks and shoots really nice. Good luck to you, and I hope you take a deer with it.
Anything worth owning, firearms wise. Is expensive these days But you get what u pay for with these. Lever actions are much more costly for the makers. Lots of moving parts that need to play together.
Good video on a great rifle! Your camera work and audio are great, but lighting is not very good. Much of the detail you wanted us to see in closeup was masked in shadow from the shop light behind you. Just a little constructive criticism! 🙂

Now they want $1000 more than you paid

@davefletch3063 $125 in 1979 is about $545 now. The MSRP on these rifles is $1250. That's ridiculous.

I've been wanting that exact rifle for ever and it was never an option. I broke down last year and bought the 4570 and now 3030 comes out

Which one would you chose if you could only buy one ? 45-70 or 30-30?

I like the looks of the picatinny on the SBLs with the 19” barrel, but also like the stripped down look of just the skinner sights on this 16”. A guy could put a rail on fairly easily. Thanks for watching!
What sling is that? I like it!! Just picked up a new 336 Trapper as well!
It's a Sandstorm Custom Rifle Sling (sandstormcustomrifleslings.com/). This is my third one from them. Enjoy your new Trapper!
Those Skinner sights also give you a longer sight radius than traditional buckhorn on the barrel
Sweet ❤
Great video! What size is your sling?
Size, I mean what length?
It's adjustable from 34"-41". It's a Sandstorm Custom Rifle Sling > sandstormcustomrifleslings.com/
@@HuskerHunting thank you!
Nice... Two questions come to mind. How are you able to obtain this new addition. When it is virtually impossible to get the first one that came out in .45-70 ? Second, Ruger had the audacity to make proprietary minor changes to the Ruger /Marlin [.45-70]. So parts from both the original Marlin and the Remington Marlin do not interchange. Then, they announced they would not provide any repair services to any other than the Ruger Marlin version. So it's probably safe to say this applies to this one as well ? Not to mention that the price went up considerably.
I picked this one up from Sportsman’s Warehouse. From what I understand, several of the parts from the previous generation are interchangeable. I saw a video with one of the Marlin folks that specifically asked that question. Thanks for watching!
Just take my money
it would be if it had a lightweight stock
Does this take glock mags??
Good solid rifle.
I like it a Lot
Ì hope they bring back the model 60
Rumors are that they intend to bring back the Model 60. I'll believe it when I see it though, since that is a direct competitor of the 10/22.
.375 Rem Ultra Be the Ultimate Brush Chambering 🤔
I knew Henry made good gun I use bow
Nice rifle, I'd like to get my hands on one, i have a remington made marlin 30-30 in stainless, i got lucky the one i bought looks and shoots really nice. Good luck to you, and I hope you take a deer with it.
Thank you!
And now Ruger made Marlins are over $1250!!! Forget that!!
Which one would you chose if you could only buy one ? 45-70 or 30-30?
I’m predominantly a flatlander so the 30-30 was the choice for me. If I were anywhere near elk, moose, or bear I’d no doubt have the 45-70.
This is the 1980s version of the Harley Davidson motorcycle. Looks good on the outside not so much on the inside. It will not shoot reloads.
Any of the new Marlin/Ruger rifles are impossible to find at msrp. Why aren’t they ramping up production to keep up with demand? It’s annoying.
Luckily the 336 Trapper is in stock here below MSRP > sovrn.co/1gc8qqk
I love them but the prices are ridiculous.
So, how did that rifle perform?
This rifle shot unusually high out of the box. I've been working with Ruger and Skinner Sights both on the issue.
I have a 336 it shoots 35 remington shells can't find them anywhere
Yes, 35 Rem is definitely hard to find. It's about as hard to find as .32 Win Special.
Wow, My Daisy Buck BB gun is bigger then this. Good for close range perhaps.
Yes, they're incredibly short!
Like to have that in 444, why? because 45.70 ammo availability been tough lately.
I haven't been looking for 45-70 lately, but ammo availability is definitely a consideration! Thanks for watching!
the ultimate brush gun is an AR-15 in 350 Legend
No mention of how many rounds it takes?
Good catch! It's a 5+1 capactiy. It was in an earlier take, but got missed in this one. Thanks for watching!
Clear the rifle!
I normally always do on video, but had on a previous take minutes before so it didn’t dawn on me to do it again for the re-take. Thanks for watching!
They are well made slick action rifles,but they are expensive.
Anything worth owning, firearms wise. Is expensive these days
But you get what u pay for with these. Lever actions are much more costly for the makers. Lots of moving parts that need to play together.
Yes, they are a bit spendy, but since I'm not planning to run optics it doesn't feel quite so bad. Thanks for watching!
@@REDNECKROOTS I agree with you there!
And unfortunately fugly!
You get what you pay for
I haven’t even seen the 45-70 yet in the wild …..
I’ve only seen the 45-70 in SBL.
Not $229 anymore at KMart or Walmart, nope.
Oh boy, we'd be buying 'em buy the truckload at that price!
Heading over to Walmart today 11/13/24 for my Michigan Deer license so will check out their price on them today and comment back on it.
Good video on a great rifle! Your camera work and audio are great, but lighting is not very good. Much of the detail you wanted us to see in closeup was masked in shadow from the shop light behind you. Just a little constructive criticism! 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
