1980 MARLIN 336 30-30

I already have a Marlin 336W in 30-30 but wanted a pre-safety older model and after going to a couple of gun shows without much luck as well as a couple of pawn shops most were not in very good shape. Well I found this one online and there were plenty of pics and looked to be well taken care of. I put a set of Talley Lightweight rings and a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 on it. Merry Christmas to me

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!

Awesome. I have a 1971.

Nice! An awesome rifle and cartridge.

Thanks guys!. Gonna see how she shoots this weekend.

If you ever want to sell it, let me know.

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.

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.

Beautiful rifle!!

I really worked on getting all the copper out of the barrel. It was a chore!! I used Pro shot copper solvent. Good luck!!
