I stumbled across this really sweet straight-gripped J-prefix 336RC in 35 Remington last week in a private sale:

The J-prefix indicates 1952, and elsewhere I read that '52 was the first year for "texan" style RCs in 35 Remington. This "texan" RC joins my J-prefix pistol gripped RC in 35 Remington, and a '62 "texan" in 35 Remington.
I put a dab of almond-colored appliance touch-up paint on the brass bead in the front sight because I cannot see shiny metallic beads anymore, and fired it offhand Sunday afternoon with Remington 200 gr CoreLokts. Four of five rounds made dust puffs from the same rock sticking in the 100 yd berm. Too bad I don't hunt anymore. Can't wait to try my cast handloads.
Had to share, thanks!
