Well done. I occasionally carry Dad's. Something weird happens, since it was what I learned on, it just fits my hand and feels more natural than any other rifle I own. No sling has ever been on it. (PHs in Africa don't have slings on their rifles either. 'Just something else to get in the way.) Marlin hit a sweet spot that is rarely ever achieved in the gun industry.
Merry Christmas!

Great gun. I bought a 1970 336 a few months ago. Some of the screws were a bit loose on my gun. Take it apart, clean it and put it back together. After I cleaned it, the gun shot 1" MOA with Winchester 170 grain ammo.
God bless John Wayne!

After I cleaned it, the gun shot 1" MOA with Winchester 170 grain ammo. Nice!! You did better than me. I went through a whole box of Core Lokt 150gr and was all over the place. I ran a boresnake through it before I took it to the lease. It has brand new Talley Lightweight mounts and a new Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 and everything was torqued. I could never get 3 shots in the same location. My last 3 shots at 100yds before deciding it wasn't going to happen today was 2 at bottom left corner about 3 inches apart and 3rd shot was high and left of bullseye. I've never ran into this before so a little confused. I am going to do a good cleaning and remount scope and start over.

I love Marlins. I picked up this 1968 vintage rust-bucket rescue from my local pawn shop last year. Fortunately for me I do cerakote, so I media blasted it all and coated it in graphite black. Added some skinner sights and shes good to go. Pretty accurate given its shortcomings. Likes the Winchester 150 deer xp.

I used Pro shot copper solvent. Good luck!!
