We all know you wouldn’t do a thing to hurt the 2nd amendment. Sometimes you got to use some Kentucky windage.
Yes sir, good to see some more lever guns! :-)
I posted an anti NRA comment but JUST READ THIS...OOPS , thanks for the explanation brother
Review the ruger 44mag carbine semi auto rifle please hickock 45 .
Man guys yall do you. We all know that your the man.
We're so lucky Ruger picked up Marlin when Remington went down. I am sure Ruger will have Marlins being made better than ever. I am partial to the brass Henry's myself, but both are beautiful guns.
Yes. Remington is garbage
The new marlins are selling for way above msrp. I'd love to buy one but just can't afford $2500 for a $1500 rifle.
@@jesusisalive3227 yeah. True street price should eventually be around 1200
@@davematney1918 probably going to take 3 years to get there
@@jesusisalive3227 You ain't kidding hey lol wtf is goin on man! Free market is meant to create competitive pricing....but when they can make an extra couple hundred dollars all at the same time they say fck the Workin Man..
Thank God Himself my local shop is owned/ran by a dam good man too, picked up my Henry 30-30 side gate all brass for I believe like 1015 bucks out the door. If you were to find one (it was incredibly difficult to find one when I did too) you know dam well it'd be much more expensive.
Still waiting to find either an X or an all weather in .44 mag aswell as the little pea shooter 45-70...
Henry's raised the bar so high overall man it's forced Ruger to make damn sure the Marlins start to bring back some of that good ole American Pride. That's a win there I guess 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Game warden: "So, Mr Hickok, you claim the deer ran in front of your bullet?"
Game warden "Tell it to the judge."
I don't get it
@@muffin2147 Just before the 17 minute mark, he sees a deer react to his shot, and talks about what would happen if he hit one.
Two christmases ago my Grandpa gave me my great-grandfather's Marlin 336 .30-.30 that he bought new in back in the 60s or so and it has been the best rifle I've ever used. I hope one I'll be able to pass it along to my grandson😊
hickok45 is a real gentleman. . .i watch a lot of blogs and i know most of the guys that have pages. . .there is nothing in his manner that is abrasive whatsover----no cursing, eff-bombs etc. ----just the facts, delivered in a gracious & humble manner ---the world needs more of his ilk
My Dad bought me a Marlin 22. automatic from Western Auto in late 70s. Silver trigger w leaf. forearms & squirrel on the front of stock. Still got it...
Always keep the rifle your dad bought you!
Hold on to those your dad gave u!
I let a few slip away when I was 18,now at 45 I regret that greatly!😢
My Henry "Big Boy, Steel" .357 magnum lever-action carbine is top notch in quality. And I had experience with Henry's customer service and they were top notch. :)
I have the same. It's so loved that it has been added to our collection of heirloom firearms that will be handed down to children and grandchildren. It's in good company with a H&K 22Mag, Weatherby 257 mag, an Ithaca 16ga and a Winchester 22 LR pump
Agreed, it is the prize of my collection. Everyone wants to shoot it when I bring it to the range.
My favorite of my fathers guns. So beautiful and such a well rounded rifle. Just wish he was more careful with it he gets scratches from stuffing his gunsafe full.
@@bengarcia3063 Yeah, either you never use it and just hang it on a wall as a decorative piece, or you actually use it, and it gets scratched, rusty, or the finish of the brass starts to come off. But still, it's so fun to shoot that I could never just hang it on a wall forever!
Ditto. I bought the same model last year. Only changes I've made is changed out the lever loop for an oversized lever loop, put a hammer cross tab to pull back the hammer with and I scoped it with a 4X30 scope. I never hunt at distances over 100 yards but my old eyes can't see with the iron sights at those distances.
I love them all!!! Winchester, Marlin and Henry!! Levers are awesome! Cheers from Alberta, Canada!
and Uberti who makes great replicas of the classic rifles
If you dont like lever guns there's sumpin' wrong with ya
They are very underrated.
@@Smasho8000 I like lever guns but I would not say they were underrated. Henry and Winchester are both north of a $1,000 and you can buy a decent bolt action rifle with a scope for well south of $500 that will shoot a more effective cartridge.
They are my favorite action.
@@Glock2201 Winchester for sure, but Henry gets in the 700s on their more popular stuff, and their “fun guns” in 22 are around 250, which isn’t bad for their quality. In fact, it’s GREAT for their quality
Well you’re not American if you don’t like them.
Marlin would almost always be the first choice except when it’s compared to a Henry. Marlins are fantastic. Henry’s are exceptional.
true statement. every henry ive ever bought has been a tack driver right out of the box
True statement.
I love every one of my JM Marlins. I also love every one of my Henry’s! My 35 Remington Henry is identical to that Henry you are shooting. It’s really a fine rifle and I’ll never part with it OR any of my JM Marlins!
Winchester 94
What guys say when they dont have a marlin ^^^^^ ,,, jk
Love that henry is doing side gates thank you to all the people that asked henry to do this much appreciated
I like that Henry went gate as well, but ALSO keep the tube load option. Nice…
Love levers! Cheers from Canada, where the firearm sports are growing in popularity! We've even started a federation for universities and colleges to compete.
That's great!
Do they get support from any universities?
As a Canadian gun owner all I can say is our beloved sport is more at risk now than ever. Maybe competition Olympic shooting, but the current liberal government would ban everything including slingshots if they knew it wouldn't stop a re election.
Meaning I'm glad to hear out any fellow Canadian who takes pride in their firearm ownership, we need all the help we can get. Cheers.
@@buymoreguns5924 The universities are becoming quite supportive of the firearms sports. My university has two official clubs, one for firearms in general and another for the clays. They are both experiencing healthy growth and interest from all kinds of people who hadn't considered the sports before.
Love the lever action 30/30. Wouldn't mind having a Marlin, Henry and Winchester..
I don’t know if there is a gun I dislike! I love the marlin ... well I love them all but I prefer the marlin.
I love the Winchester, but the only thing is you can't top mount a scope on a Winchester.
@@jackwatkins7382 Find a Winchester 94 AE.
@@towtruckmafia well mr. Matteson I have actually thought about that but I wasn't sure about their angle eject. I've heard some dislikes over them but I've never owned one so I wouldn't know. One guy said that the case is still a little long but that wouldn't matter to me if I can get it in a 44 caliber because the shoulder case I think would not give no problem. But finding one in 44 is kind of a problem. I guess I'll have to buy it new. I don't spect you know anyone that has got a 44 for sale? Thanks for the reply, Jack
I have all 3. Love them all
I couldn’t decide so I bought a Marlin 336 .30-30 and Henry .22 with octagon barrel and brass receiver! Love them both!
Just bought the exact Henry side gate 30 30 and shot it few days ago, it’s beautiful and shoots right on target. Very happy with it!
Picked up the Henry side gate couple weeks ago. I love this rifle!
Do they have it in .357?
@@beijingbiden5931 Not yet, currently it is only chambered in 30-30, .38-55 and .35 Remington.
I hope they bring out the .357 soon that’s for sure!
@@joe13h Looking at getting a Henry big boy in 357 magnum. If available in side gate model, certainly would consider.
@@terrypublow7038 as soon as they make one in .410 with a steel reciever ima getn one
Thanks Hickock! I was literally wondering about these two. You have helped me cement the Henry side gate as my first lever I shall buy. I'm halfway saved up.
You go kid!!
Enjoy your videos. I'm a Marlin guy. Bought my first one almost 40 years ago. A used 336 R.C. the most reliable rifle I've owned.
I just bought a new Marlin 1895 CB in 45-70. Shot it today for the first time. That thing shoots like a dream! Smooth action, easier to load as my other lever guns, and the feel was fantastic. I put a rear peep site on it (Williams) and the sight picture is fantastic. I love that Marlin.....I've had old Marlins before and this one is no different in my opinion.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these videos. They make my day.
Thanks for the great video.both are great rifles.Just bought a new dark series 45-70 marlin for my son's graduation which field tested excellently . Also purchased a Henry all weather 45-70 for myself because it is so slick and fits my scabbard nicely . It also shoots well.One thing I've noticed is that when you purchase a new rifle it instantly becomes a whole lot better than before you own it.Love lever guns!! Thanks for the videos!
Henry is just a Great rifle in any caliber !
amen
I picked up a Henry because it has a transfer bar safety (and doesn’t have a manual safety)
That sealed the deal for me. But both are wonderful lever guns!!!
Just putting these two lever actions side by side for comparison speaks volumes for the quality of both. I have a Marlin and never shot a Henry but would love to own one in the near future.
Wanted: Henry side loading, octagon barrel 26", 45-70. BLUED... waiting... waiting...
Thank you! Finally somebody else haha. I really want a Henry with a 24"-28" barrel length (and the extra capacity from the longer tube), just like Marlin's 1895CB. Although, I would rather it be in 30-30 myself.
Hopefully one day we get our wish
@@cbeaudry4646 for real, I also really want someone to reproduce the trapdoor Springfield
Blued, or case hardened, that looks beautiful as well
YES! Basically their version of the 1886!!
@@kevingipe6923 YEEEESSSSS, finally someone, but not only a 45-70 trapdoor, one in .357 mag or .44 mag for plinking and combining with a revolver or even one in .30-30 winchester
I've owned all of the Winchester 30-30's, owned the Henry, pumped countless rounds thru all...
No disrespect to Winchester nor Henry at all, they are all fine rifles.
I've owned a marlin model 60 for 43 years...fine, accurate rifle .
Then I bought a Marlin 336 GT. ..
I sold my Henry and all of my Winchesters...for me, the 336 is the epitome of the perfect 30-30.
Fit, finish, action, reliability and above all, accuracy is superb..
That Henry is beautiful and well finished. The Henry looks like it would cost twice the money. Also like the ability to load side gate or tube loading on the Henry. I bet the wildlife have become accustomed to the firing on the range and keep coming back for the free watermelons and pumpkins.
i used my dads .444 Marlin for deer hunting... absolutely love that lever action.
I love it when you bring out the lever action rifles. Great video Hickok! Thanks for sharing.
Just an FYI, I also have a Henry all weather gun .357 and some how when cleaning it I caught the extractor and the lever would not close. I contacted Henry and set up a warranty repair and a day later they sent me a return postage paid label to return the rifle for repair. I guess guaranteed for life means just that, even when I screw things up.
I have two old marlins from early 60’s 30/30 , 35 rem and all my new lever guns are Henrys’s and I’ll be staying with Henry.
Same for me, they are just better made and need nothing out of the box
wanna sell the Marlin?
After years of shooting with open or iron sights, I've come to prefer the semi-buckhorn sight over the the full buckhorn. That might be enough to swing me to the Henry~!! Marlin has been in turmoil for a couple of years now while Henry is very stable. I've also read that Henry's service is as good as it gets~! My choice is clear~!!
The Henry side-gate and tube load/unload lever-action is the best design hands down.
Opinions vary, that was the reason I picked a marlin over the henry.
@@austinwhite969 opinions vary yes but features are my muse.
Marlin: We have the best side loading lever gun.
Henry: Hold my beer.
Ha Marlin is better I want to see a Henry 26 inch octagon Barrell
Im sorry but Rossi still smokes Henry and Marlin.....
I SmithNwesson I have not found that to be the case
I SmithNwesson this isn’t me arguing. I want to know why you think this? I want to get into lever guns
Winchester 😁
Never shot a Henry, but I love my Marlin. Also have a .22 Marlin. Both great and dependable. My model 336 was made in the early sixties and has a curved, rounded lever, topped by a Redfield scope. Steel butt plate. Same for the .22.
A couple years back I shot my cousin's brand new henry 45-70. I hadn't shot a gun in a decade, and right out of the box I was amazed how accurate it was.
I would have to give the advantage to Henry, for sure, if customer service is factored in.
That Henry is a Beauty!
Henry/Marlin, Marlin/Henry? It's easy, I'd like one of each. They're both cool.
A Marlin is a Henry improved. An improved Henry is a Marlin.
Dammit you might just be right 😂
Henry is crazy, put a side loader on all of them! DAMN
i just paid a couple hundred more for a marlin 357 over a henry 357 simply because henry doesn't have a loading gate on theirs. and damn did I really want that brass look
People make way too big of a deal out of Henrys not having a side gate. I bet I can tube load a Henry as fast as most people can side gate load.
@@bsmithhammer not speed I care about. 1, its convenience. 2, its 1 more part that can break
@@ranndomundead9112 Sure, I get that. But I find most people who are put off by the idea of not having a loading gate have never really spent much time with a lever that doesn't have one. It's still easy to load, or top off. And it would take a fair bit of effort to to break the mag tube. Even so, they're cheap and having an extra one on hand isn't a bad idea. Gates can jam/break as well.
Hammer 67 yeah, but when I want to put a suppressor on one the side gate is important. It’s also annoying to have to put your hands near the muzzle if you’re topping off(and yes, I know you can just have the action open and have no danger, but still)
Being 74 years old and having rabbits to eat I began my journey by getting ground squirrels with copper wire and would get 10 cents for each tail. The first 22 I got was the 39A and when CCI came out with the Stinger it was a game changer. I ended up with 2 of these. I inherited cataracts and always used a scope. I also have two Marlins both in the 45-70 one old one that my Dad had and the other is a Stainless model I keep in Alaska.
A lot of reviews online of Henry rifles always show the brass receiver version. I’m a Henry fan, but for those who think this is a bit ‘gaudy’, they do offer black receivers and case colored hardened versions which I prefer.
That's the difference between those of us who hunt. And those that buy a gun for show. Just my opinion. I buy my guns to use and hunt with. I have a old school single shot 45-70 henry in old school furniture. Put a lot of deer down with that old girl.
Yeah, the brass is a bit over the top. I’m a bit more subdued. I with they did them in a Tenifer/QPQ like finish honestly…
Wow, that Henry sure is a lovely rifle. You're one of the best (if not THE best) reviewer from the States. keep 'em coming.
ATB from the UK.
Hickok patting the Henry while he's explaining how upset people get when he doesn't outright pick one was enough for me. Henry wins. lol
Not even close, brother. Henry is a copy. Great workmanship…etc. Marlin stands alone. That Marlin he has is a REM made.
The old Marlin .35 was my favorite, out of a numerous rifles dad sent me off with, hunting in the deer woods as a kid & teen.
So light. Great for walking up and down the forested ridges of the Ozark Mts, and a good brush gun for those deadfall-heavy backwoods. Still did great, open sights, even at longer ranges after coming out of the thick brushy woods.
16.5" Henry Big Boy Side Gate in .357 Carbine/Color Cased Receiver with large lever is what I have!! Love Henry quality!! Very few discounts with some hard to find Henrys. I payed MSRP of $1198!! Marlin 336 no longer in production! Thanks for another great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love old Marlins. I’ve got a 1929 lever 410 and an old model 36 in 30-30. Hopefully my grandson will understand how important they are.
I do have a Marlin 336W 30/30. I chose it because it has the ejection port on the side, which makes it suitable to use a scope. I also have a hammer spur accessory that makes access to the hammer under the scope easy. I bought it in July, 2012 for $409.99.
I’ve always wanted a Henry and a couple of days ago I got the 22. Now I’m going to buy the 3030. Great Video thank you
Dont get the tube fed one its garbage
for me i like the look of the Marlin the best. but, thetight tolerances on the henry is above and beyond. very nice rifles, both of them!
Thank you for this video. My favorite part was how you showed how the wood doesn’t seat flush against the steel parts on the marlin. Those are the tiny details that helped me decide to buy the Henry 30-30 I just got. Woohoo!
Ive had my Marlin for 30 years and it still runs flawlessly.
Doing a side by side between the Martini Henry and the Trapdoor Springfield would be a cool video to see.
Trapdoor and Snider-Enfield would honestly be a better matchup.
@@Seseous Dang, I had never even heard of that rifle. Thanks for commenting. Snider-Enfield does seem more similar to the Trapdoor Springfield, but the Martini Henry is the closest i knew of at the time to compare to, as well as being more known of a rifle that i would still like to see the comparison of between the Trapdoor Springfield.
Rifle Service Time
Snider-Enfield 1867-1901
Martini Henry 1871-1918
Trapdoor Springfield 1873-1892
If you wanna see that you would love to watch his new video! Lol
For me the choice is easy: Henry. I've had the Henry Big Boy in 44mag for several years & absolutely love it.
Might be buying a big boy in .44 myself
I have contacted Henry several times via there email and there response was quite quick. The helped me in decisions on sight changes and attaching a scope. I did order the Talley 1" base/rings to attach my scope. The also have a great selection of Henry parts and accessories. If you own a Henry their site is a must. Life time warranty on all Henry's.
Throughly enjoy these videos, Great Guy ! Any firearms enthusiast can enjoy and understand that many rifles are very close in comparison, it’s just like Mr.Hickok-45 states “Sometimes it just comes down to personal preference.” I own several levers, Winchester, Marlin and Henry… I also enjoy them all for some reason or other ! Keep up the Great information and comparisons . Thank You Mr.Hickok !
Great guns! But, I tend to side with the new Henry side loader. Sure hope Henry comes out with a 357 and 44 side loaders. Will buy the 44 mag for sure!
Wish Marlin and Henry would do a 445 Supermag and 357 maximum version… would be a very versatile option that falls in between the 44mag and 45-70 and 357/30-30 models…
Have a Winchester in 30-30 a Marlin in 45-70 and a Henry in 44 mag. Like you i can't tell which one i like best
I had the Marlin 45-70 guide gun in stainless. Dumbest move I ever made was to sell it. I still have a full box of ammo so I guess I'llhave to get another 45-70 guide gun.
Which is the most powerful cartridge? Having trouble getting info
My only dig with new lever guns is the safety. I grew up old school with the old model 94 where you cocked the hammer when you were ready to shoot or had it in the half cocked "safe" position
Another great video by Hickok both are good guns with that being said I grew up with a 336 my father bought me when I was 14 gun has served me well for many years but as I got older I wanted more nock down power and I hunt thick brush I decided threw a friend using one a 45 70 was going to be my new one so I was looking at marlins but at the time I didn't know but remington was going down hill and they where hard to find so I did my home work read the reviews and watched countless videos on TH-cam and ordered a herny all weather in 45 70 I have not been disappointed it a beautiful gun the accuracy is unmatched to the marlin and it the smoothest laver action and trigger iv have ever shot but I still carry the 30 30 some days during deer season
Have always been a bit of a Marlin fan but now that Henry is adding the loading gates I am really taking shine to them.
Henry!!! I love my Henry 44mag. Just an absolute joy to play with. Henry’s customer service is #1.
Have one as well , goes great with my Ruger Bisley Vaquero.
Fun day ...
I have a 30-30'lever action with the western auto name on it. Except for a few differences it is a marlin I bought it in late 1963. It has great performance.
Years ago, I was struggling with the question you pose-which lever gun to get and I was agonizing over the Winchester, the Marlin, and the Henry.. Best 'gunman' I ever met showed me a Browning BLR (the steel one, not the aluminum )- game over:) I had him procure me one in 7mm rem mag...Never looked back :) ANYTHING on North American Continent can fall to that rifle, under any circumstances, just change the loads. As my grand dad once told me, 'multiple rifles don't make a better shooter- its multiple shots from the same rifle that make you good.'
I’m new to firearms and a recent subscriber. I really enjoy your channel. Besides the history lessons on firearms, I’m learning how to look at the details. I’ve seen 2 of your Marlin videos, this being one, where I’ve learned to look at details differently. I’d pick the Henry here, but the details on a specific Marlin I held could make the difference because of workmanship.
FYI
Passed through Tennessee for the first time this summer. Beautiful state and people. On the short list for my upcoming retirement transition!
Me too !!! First time in Tennessee!! Wonderful state!! I like the Henry!!🤓
That Henry stock, both pieces are absolutely beautiful!!! The Marlin’s wood is top notch also, IMO
I'm a Lifetime Member of the NRA. Love your videos!
NRA has gotten a bad rap lately. I'm a life member too. NRA has always stood up for freedom. More gun owners should join us in the NRA.
Thankfully we have the NRA. I’m a life member too... without NRA we wouldn’t have (be able to keep) the gun rights we have.
I owned an early 70’s 336C Marlin which was a very good lever gun. I now own 3 Henry’s. A .22 lr, a 44 mag & a 45-70. Henry’s are the best!
I’m a traditional original JM Marlin fan & own several Marlin rifles, but I recently acquired a Henry X (all black) with a side load gate 45/70 & love the feel of it, the side gate was the closer for me, I’ve always wanted a Henry & said if they put a gate in it, I’d buy it. So there you go, love both.
I have NEVER had better customer service than from Henry...in any area.
Considering the giant of a man you are, you might be able to dual wield those with no problem.😂
A'la Rooster Cogburn! "FILL YOUR HANDS, YOU SON OF A B***CH!"
So glad I found this video. I was considering getting a Henry 30-30, but I didn't know they made a version that is a side loader and tube. I'll wait until that one is back in stock. :)
I've had my 336T for 51 years now, and I wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China! Solid shooter and never an ounce of trouble!
My first deer rifle is a Marlin 336s - I’ve taken at least a dozen white tail with it - and it’s still one of my favorites
with iron sights
I have the Marlin guide gun 1895, blued with octagon barrel, 45-70 = great shooter right out of the box. The Henry is beautiful, but I seemed to be drawn to the Marlin. I don't think you make a bad choice with either.
I wish.
My problem with Henry is the brass is so shiny it will reflect if it's sunny and so expensive
Put em away dirty and let that brass get a nice patina!
Very simple. Pawn shops are loaded up with good Guns Have had my Winchester model 94 30 30 since 74.. Not expensive. Bought a Winchester 308 at a pawn shop. 500. Bucks
There are henrys with a black version, 45 - 70 side gate has one.
@@markwilliams5606 I specifically remember win 94's going for just under 100$ in the 70's.
That would probably be 500-750 today
I just got my new Henry in 4570 brass side gate 3 days ago. It is absolutely stunning the craftsmanship it's gorgeous. But if a friend of mine just got a new Marlin and came over I would just say man we got some badass new rifles I don't know that I would even think of one better then the other
I own several Henry lever action rifles, a couple Winchester lever action rifles and even a lever action shotgun. I've never owned a Marlin. Marlin has never been one of the big go-to lever action rifles when I was growing up. I'm sure they're exceptionally built rifles but I went with what I grew up with and what I know what works. Deer hunting was our way of life when I was a kid and to this day, everyone at home still carries on the deer hunting tradition. I'm from Franklin County in Pa and school would close down for first days of buck season. I think that's changed now but that's how serious deer hunting was and still is in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the great video. I always enjoy your videos. Another full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 12/14/22
You forgot an important part to the Henry. Since it still has the loading tube, you can dump all of the rounds out of that instead of having to cycle through all the rounds in the marlin.
Best of both worlds lol why would anyone buy a Marlin now?
Uhh...he didnt miss that. Maybe you did? But he did say loading and unloading. Any way I'm for marlin. Hate shiny guns.
Henry makes one of the finest production lever today. Have a new henry in 4570 and its a joy. Marlins arent like the jm stamped guns. Shame but hopefully they will return to the good ole marlin we all knew
@Blue Dragon Why? Loading gates are way more efficient at reloads.
@Blue Dragon Good points. You mind me asking what kind of lever action you had? As far as I could tell many of them didn't tear up your fingers when loading them.
Ruger has taken over Marlin. They'll be worth owning again.
Hopefully we will see 39a again
Still gonna be made in the same remington factory in ny
Ruger is not going to let crap be made or poor quality exist. They are what Colt, S and W, Winchester, even Remington used to be: excellent quality and service. And the Ruger family owns the business instead of corporate blood suckers.
A thousand 2020 dollars for an 1860 design and 1920's metalurgy.
I like lever rifles, and single shots but at the prices they're charging I can't afford enough to keep them from going under.
I sure hope so! Got a marlin 30-30 from the 80s or 90s looks brand new Gpa only went hunting with it a few times before he passed on. First time shooting it had a 8 point lined up glad that thing shoots dimes put a safety shot in him just in case i missed! Wont ever use anything else now!
“You’re not putting these online on the Internet are you? “😂
I bought a Henry golden boy and felt that the brasslite finish lacked the deep luster I thought it should have. I called and they sent a replacement receiver, which had a very minor flaw so they send another that was perfect. I send an email the president complementing the customer service and he replied and sent me some cool merchandise with the Henry logo on it they were awesome to deal with!
I had a Marlin 1895 for years, I've never picked up a Henry. Thanks for the comparison.
The brass looks cool but it's softer and shows scratches more easily.
Better corrosion resistance than steel too.
I am glad Marlin is improving. The choice you have presented is a hard one because both are good rifles. But, it is a choice I probably will not make, since I much prefer 35 Remington. It is a personal choice. 30-30 is a good round, just not my preference.
I would go with the Henry because it's beautiful and doesn't have that crossbolt safety
The Marlin 336 is a Henry vastly improved.
Customer service and warranty is so important to us I'm very surprised you didn't talk about the difference between both companies.
I like how smooth the Henry's are but it feels way to front heavy almost like they used a 45 cal barrel blank and bored it to 30 cal, the Marlin just feels handier like a lever gun should.
Personally my first choice would be a pre 64 Winchester 94 1st, a older JM Marlin 336 2nd and a new Marlin 3rd.
I’ve got a 1946 1894 25-35

@@tanneroakley8625 very nice, I'd love to come across a JM Marlin 1894 either in .357 or .44 mag also look to add a JM 336 in .35 rem to the collection too
yankeesfan1985 my dad got it when he was 11
I'm going with the Henry, It's prettier! And its USA! The attention to detail is awesome and is has two loading options.
And Marlin isn't made in the USA?
Fiveo waf, from what I have heard, the parts are sourced from other countries and assembled here. I could be totally wrong. I do like both companies.
My marlin 336 SS said made in USA on the box... so I hope it was lol
Now that Marlin is owned by Remington, I would prefer if their parts came from another country. It would probably work better
Courtesy flush52, I see this is your second comment criticizing the new Marlins. I have a dozen lever action rifles: 7 Winchesters, 4 Marlins, both JM and new Models, and a Henry. Not sure what you own or know, as opposed to what you have just heard, but I can tell you from over fifty years of extensive gun collecting, buying, selling, shooting and hunting that the Marlins currently being produced are excellent. Now don’t get mad and start typing, it’s true. Have you owned one, shot them, or are you just repeating what you’ve heard? If you have, well of course you’re entitled to your opinion, but my experience has been nothing but very positive with new Marlins.
Great vid, as always. Ty. I like the 30-30 arm cannon! I've been shooting Marlin since 1977; Marlin's the ONE! (Love the 336's traditional brass trigger; Henry's too shinny, glitzy, and flashy.)
I only have a Henry HL001 which is chambered in.22. I absolutely love that little gun. Taught my son to shoot it. Now he's claimed it for himself. Thanks for the good videos
I love my 336W. It is smooth and accurate. I bought it at an auction for 425.00 and never regretted it.
Great video mate! A great rundown on both rifles, well done champ from all of us in the top end (Darwin NT) 👍
I own a Marlin that I really love but that Henry is gorgeous.
Love your videos !! Huge lever action fan !! You and John Wayne and your lever guns. Thanks for all you do and have done.
I know this is a bit old, but the major difference between the two rifles is the safety systems. The Marlin has the simple crossbolt safety, the Henry has a hammer block similar to the Ruger single action revolvers. Hammer can't strike the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
I have a marlin 336CS in the 35 Remington and a marlin 336 in the 30-30 and I love both guns they have always been smooth and reliable guns for me but I also have a Winchester model 94 and love it to
Both appear to be excellent lever guns. Henry idea with the side gate plus the tube load feature is innovative. Furniture is better on the Henry. Both the Marlin and Henry are good weapons.
It appears to me the side loading gate combined with the tube style loading system of the Henry would better facilitate UNLOADING.
Your Henry comments finally convinced me to buy my grandson a Henry 22lr
I bought his big sister a Ruger American 22lr and his big brother a Mossberg pump .410
Keep it in the 10 ring buddy
