Got one, I like it. Pairs with my 444P very nice.

336D LTD .35 Rem "Guide Gun" Blued 18.5" ported barrel. Straight grip checkered walnut stocks. Made in 2000. 1001 produced. Serial # reads 336D0000-336D1000. Special run by Marlin for Davidsons.

Yup, that’s it. Worth $1300?

 

Love the looks of it, I love the 18.5” barrel length, and I’m a fan of 35 cal, but for over $1300 it seems pricey to me.

 

Seems high to me, but there are only 1000. Forever....

 

Haha! I love the way you worded that...”only 1,000...Forever.....” Making me feel guilty for not buying it right now! There’s just too many different Marlin configurations that I find interesting.

 

I had one when they first came out and I think I paid around 400 dollars for it. It was a nice well finished rifle. There is a story that goes with it. I let my 16 yr old youngest son take it to his stand and told him if he made dents or scratches in it he was going to have to buy it. When he putted up to the truck on his four wheeler after the hunt was over I noticed he didn't have much to say and I just casually ask him if he had marred the Marlin and he told me that he would buy iit from me when we got back to the house . It seems that when he got to his stand and took the rifle out of the zippered gun case it had slid out of the case and banged up against the four wheeler knocking two dents in the stock. We had a good laugh about it but he was true to his word and he paid me 400 dollars for it. He sold it about a year later and got something else and has regretted it ever since and so have I everytime I see the price they fetch.

 

How many times could we tell the “sold it but wish I hadn’t“ story! More times for me than I like remembering.

 

I have never seen one in person. Maybe one day I will come across one. :hmmmm2:

 

They are very nice rifles, if you like the .35 ( and I do )-and ported rifles. That price is not unusual,
they typically price somewhere between $1000-1300. I got talked out of one of mine last year by a friend. It went in that range. Still have one, but it is in the Davidson collection, mentioned in the link above by Scorpiusb, which I have and don't want to break up. If y ou have a hankering for it...Well as was so ably said, one of a thousand..ever.

 

Thought about getting the 336D but that went out the window after grabbing a Glenfield 30 in 35 Rem. The 336Ds are very nice rifles and are hard to find--hence the higher price.

 

I had one, but my wife confiscated it a few years ago as her own! With its "ported" barrel, it kicks like a .243, hits like a "ton of bricks", and shoots "minute of deer" all day long. It is loud, but when I hear it "bark" I know to get out my "butcher" knife to "dress" some "winter meat". Yeah, $1300 is more than 3 times what they sold for originally, but the 336D will be one of the last rifles I would sell (BTW, I do have a 444P). The 336D has "Ballard" riflings that handles cast bullets at about the same velocity as jacketed.

 

Man you guys are convincing...

 

I have one and I love it. I got lucky and bought it on here years ago for $650 and I felt lucky to get it. I'm not turning it lose.
It is the lightest, handiest, fastest, and most natural handling Marlin in my collection and my all around most favorite rifle. My 444P and Glenfield 30 in 35 Rem are tied for second most favorite Marlin. The porting makes the 336D drop right back down on target after a shot.

BTW there are only 999 of them left. A fellow came on here a few years ago with questions about a used rifle that he had bought that had a 336D serial number. It seems that the original owner had not liked the porting so he had replaced the ported barrel with a cut down 336A barrel.

 

I bought one 4 maybe 5 years ago for $400.00 with 4 boxes of Remington 200gr corelokts included in the price. Bought it because I had several coffee cans of 200 gr .35 RCBS cast bullets all weighted out on a balance beam scale from when I used to shoot IHMSA and used a T/C in .357 as my production gun. I'd look at those coffee cans of cast bullets thinking, "I should melt them down and cast them into...." but then remembered the slow weighing process so had the bright idea of buying a .35 Remington chambered rifle to shoot them in. That's what I did, first one I found was the 336D. I had the gun store hold the rifle until I checked on this site to see if anyone used cast bullets in in one with the ported barrel. Instantly had offers of $1200 in response to the question. I bought it. It shoots fine with cast or jacketed.

 

Pretty sure I paid around $600 for mine with a couple boxes of ammo. One of my favorites but I doubt I would have paid the heavy $$ figures you see them listed for sale now

 

I have #77 of 1000

 

Old post from 2018!
