Hey all,
I have a new (yeah I know the new ones are not cool and have no "mystery of history"...) 336. I've always been a Winchester fan but wanted the option of a top mount scope. I'm hoping to learn from you all two main things.
#1- How to gain a real appreciation for this Marlin rifle.
#2- How to set it up correctly to be the 'perfect' all-around hunting rifle for a guy in his fifties who does not see as well as he used to!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you'all and to transforming my sort of clubby and heavy 336 into a real all-purpose hunting rifle.
Oh, yeah, it's a 30-30. Not an impressive round, but I will also be asking in another post if anyone has found ways to improve performance through bullet choice and maybe pet handloads. I'd even consider paper patching, but finding a factory load that is always available and getting to know my rifle and how it shoots with that load under all circumstances is my goal.
