G-MAN Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I've been toying with getting a lever gun for awhile and when I found out yesterday that Academy had the Marlin 336 on sale for $353.00 I took the plunge. I don't think you can beat that price for an American made lever action.Hopefully, I'll be able to take it to the range on Tuesday and see how it shoots.

Tom Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Looks like fun to me. There is something cool about cycling a lever action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010_FX4 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have one in .35 Remington. These are solid well functioning rifles. While I have several Winchester 1894 lever actions and even a 1892 in .45LC; the Marlin rifles are better.The ergonomics of the Marlin totally trump the Winchester straight stock (at least for me) and every 336 that I have shot has been very accurate.

I agree on the ergos of the 336. I like the pistol grip stock. It hearkens back to the deluxe models of the Marlin 1881, which I think was the most graceful lever action ever made.
