Everything we read about the 35 Remington points to the fact that many people still use them yet ammunition nobody seems to want to manufacture this cartridge even during "normal" times. You would think that at least one manufacturer would take advantage of the demand and fill the void in the market.
Great video as always, David! Thanks for sharing this with us. And may I congratulate you on the acquisition of a fine lever action rifle from days gone by. A shooting buddy I used to hang around with 40+ years ago had one of these. And he had a Dan Wesson 15-2 .357 revolver. I muddled through with my German-made .380 Walther PPK/S {LOL}. I was a lil' green with envy of course, but not in the least covetous. He was a good kid and deserved them - plus his Dad's pockets were deeper than mine {LOL}. Anyway, I digress... Of course, he let me shoot some rounds through his Marlin 336 and I was quite impressed with it. He told me his Dad picked the .35 Remington round over 30-30 because of its reputation as a "brush-buster" and would have a better chance of bagging a whitetail deer if your shot had to bust through some thick brush to hit your deer. I know the 30-30 is no slacker, but evidently the .35 Remington has more punch. Makes perfect sense to me. Ever since, I've held this lever action gun in high regard. Glad you got yourself one! :-)
That's a beauty. I have the 30-30. I looked on Academy sports and they sell .35 Remington. The thing with them is ammo ships free when you but $25.00 or more which is awesome.
I just bought a Marlin 336XLR in 30-30 about 2 years ago . The fit and finish on it is fine as far as I can tell. Like all new lever actions even my 336CS (JM) model had a break in period before it ran smooth. Maybe it is the luck of the draw whether or not you get a good one. I've had no problems with them. A beauty of a rifle, David. Nice partner to your waffle top. Good luck with it. 👍
David-----this is the first gun I ever bought back in 1972 loved it then in 75 I left for overseas and sold it............still miss it...........how is that Sheltie doing? This gun was made with pride......it seems many people have no pride in there work now a day.......Dave you ever think about re-loading? For years I didn't want to....but now just a year ago I got into it
Great review as all ways Dr 63 you put out reviews i feel i have been able to trust you you are very good and hands on and i feel you are straight up and true with us the working man i have been looking into getting a 762 39 and im wondering what you would go with the CZ 527 the Ruger predator or the Howa mini action i have seen reviews on all of them from like hickok45 and travisp11 and so on but i put the trust into you and 22 plinksters thoughts more than most your the reason i bought the Remington 783 and the 700 very very good rifles so i was kind of wondering what one you think would be best to buy thanks much my friend
Curtis Martin First of all, thank you so much for watching and your kind words. I have to be honest and tell you I am not very familiar with the rifles you are considering BUT I can tell you I have a great deal of respect for the products that CZ puts out.
Man that’s a great looking rifle. I definitely wouldn’t touch that rear sight though. It’s only personal preference but a receiver mounted peep on a lever action just has a great 20th century look. And as you said, it ain’t a cowboy gun so a tang mounted peep would be odd.
David, Ruger has bought the assets to Marlin from Remington. Will be interesting to see some rifles coming off the line from Ruger in the months ahead.
Fine rifle well made even to this day , i have hunting friends who use the Marlin to hunt with every year... Oh in one of my history books there is a couple of chapters on Custer's last stand and the firearms found at the site after the battle .. More Trapdoor Springfield single shot rifles were found on the battlefield than any other type of action..It did not say in the historical event how many falling block rifle were carried by the troops or were later recovered .. Trapdoor Springfield rifles were quite plentiful and standard issue at the time it said... Thanks , i learned an important piece of history.. There were tons of of falling block rifles made by several makers in that time period ..
The 30-30 is cheaper and available in most stores anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Marlin did make different models of the 336. Not every JM marked Marlin will have a Gold Trigger or the RC designation. I bought a mint 336 Marlin made in 1971 known as the Texan model with the straight stock, saddle ring with squared lever. This model is collectible. The gun shop owner inflated the price on all his JM Marlin rifles. I still think it's a $250 rifle not $500.
John Doe With the current gun craze, prices have gone up exponentially on certain firearms and ammunition. I am seeing used Leveraction rifles from $300-$550 on the used rack. I paid $350 for a used .44 Magnum Winchester 94 that was shot little but never cleaned or maintained by the owner who wanted $500 because he said Winchester didn’t make many .44 Magnum rifles. I paid a good price for it’s condition. Cash still is King!
Love my marlins. Got Two JM's in 35 and 357.

I have a 74, it has taken down a few wild boar with no problem, ammo has been a problem so it never goes to the range.

Looks like its got the gokd trigger.
beautiful rifle ! thanks for posting !!

I thought "RC" = "Regular Carbine" and "SC" equaled "Sporting Carbine," and had to do with the magazine tube length and capacity.
jason burrell you are likely correct
I have a 1963 Sears Roebuck Model 45 in .35 Remington which was made by Marlin and I put a Williams rear sight on it myself. It’s a shooter for sure.
My Mom bought her’s in 1972 and Loves it. Taken a lot of deer with it!
Number one on my want list. Thanks for a awesome video. Take care and God Bless.

russ elder Sooner or later I will reload LOL. Probably will start with 357 and 44. I have bags full of brass.
@@drdrake63 357 is mostly what I shoot so I am always re-loading it...........super easy......some like 9mm dont pay to re-load
RC - regular carbine....!

@@drdrake63 will look into the cz then thanks and yes them Remington 35s are sweet
Yeah RC doesn’t mean Remington caliber 🤨
I wish that you had made mention of the Marlin 336 chambered in 32 win spec.
When you can find'em.
Great video, I just subscribed
Very nice Marlin David. Any issues with lite primer strikes ? Deer hunted with it ?

Well they’re not gonna be up to 1950 standards I’m sure of that. But there’s room for improvement over what we’ve seen the last few years
@@drdrake63 Man, you can say that again !!

$500 easily in good to excellent condition
