What's the relative burn rate of Shooters World Buffalo Rifle? Where does it fit in to the burn rate chart?

 

What's the relative burn rate of Shooters World Buffalo Rifle? Where does it fit in to the burn rate chart?

So what I understand is Buffalo Rifle is the old maker of 5744. So it's just the old formula. If you are headed to Sioux Falls anytime soon, Scheels has some.

 

SW Buffalo Rifle should be the same as or very close to AA 5744 - as per Shooter's World online manual.
I've been trying to find either 5744 or Buffalo Rifle - it seems both have disappeared from my local stores.

If I understand correctly, I think the Buffalo Rifle powder will be impossible to find until later this year. I'm fortunate to have 8 lbs of it.

 

@1895Gunner thank you for the write up.

Great review. Thanks for taking the time to share this information.

 

Thanks for the review!

 

Nice review. I can't be the only one who found interest in the parts list...anyone have an idea of which, if any of those parts would work on pre-Ruger rifles?

 

The question is will Ruger be making said parts available for sale?

 

Good looking rifle! Thanks for the review.

Great review and photos. I really hope they bring out a 24" 336A.

 

Good review. Thank you. Any info on shooting cast? I notice Ruger/marlin website mentions "wide variety of "factory" ammo"

 

I have yet to put any cast thru it however plan to soon.

 

Nice firearm! It seems to be built as a collectible. The price of the previous 336W was one of the reason that I bought it. The other was availability. I wanted to get into deer hunting. But, did not want to spend too much money, in case things did not pan out. 30-30 seemed like a nice entry point. Marlin and Mossberg seemed like a nice price point to start. If I was starting again to get into hunting, that Marlin would be out of my price point. Even now, it is a bit rich for my blood. Yet, it does look nice!

 

Looks like they went back to the barrel band and not the end cap. Shows #43 with a thread protector.

 

Does it look like the front sight hood is bent open too far? It looks like the left side is flared out of the groove.

Great work Scott as always. We've seen a couple of these up close and in person and we thought your full review represented everything very well and accurately. As you say, this is their take at the Classic and there will be more versions to come at a later date. The $1,239 pricing to me sounds really high for a 30-30 (remember 10 years ago when they were $600-$800 new or used?) but then again inflation has lots of things out of whack. We're just happy to see Ruger-Marlin continuing to put out new models as quickly as they can.

 

Thank you for the review. I hope to find one in-person and put hands on it soon. I was hoping the price would be $900-1100. Maybe the price will come down when the new wears off.

 

My question is are the parts backward compatible with Marlin-made or Remington-made Marlin 336's?

 

It seems to me the price of a Ruger Marlin 336 Classic at Suggested Retail, $1,239.00 is high for some people.
Well, in 2008 I purchased a Marlin 308 express XLR I believe I paid the high end of $750. up before tax and the M. 336 XLR 30-30 was the same price. Now 15 years later thanks to Ruger we can buy a Marlin 336 30-30 Classic but the price for this well-made rifle is to high.
Well, the Henry Marlin 336 30-30 clone M.S.R.P. $1,057.00 and as beautiful it is. It doesn't compare to the Marlin 336 30-30 Classic. The Marlin 336 classic just looks healthier, and it will probably standup better in years to come, IMHO.

I agree. If one is in the market for a new 30-30, Marlin would probably be the one to get.

 

Great looking rifle, but $200 more than my Browning Hells Canyon Speed .300 WSM... Ouch!

 

The new Ruger Marlin 336 30-30 is out after a noticeable absence and looking pretty nice !
The vendors are going to run them at MSRP or higher until supply catches up, and then the retail cost will adjust downward. This is common in a supply & demand market. I've watched this a lot in my 69 years.
I myself have been waiting for a Marlin 1894 (357 mag) for some time. The new 336 is an attractive and well made lever action rifle. I'm very tempted to snag a 35 Rem when they eventually become available.

 

It looks like Ruger did a fine job in manufacturing the new Marlin 336 .30-.30, it looks beautiful! Thank you for the great review and photos.

 

Grab A Gun has the new 336 listed on their site for $999.99, but it's currently out of stock. Looks like they are going to be getting them though because you can sign up to be notified when they have them in stock.

 

$1000 seems reasonable. Will probably go down some when the new excitement subsides.

 

Is it just me or are there two different threads here?? OP makes the briefest mention of powder choices and all of the sudden it’s a loading data thread rather than a review of the new 336…

Nice review 1895 Gunner. I’ll be keeping an eye out for a carbine or Trapper model.
