Yep---I definitely know! I have several 35 Rems and love hunting and shooting them!

 

The 35 Remington (is a) great round. When I was young and dumb (about 1.5 years ago) I picked up a Marlin in 35 Rem and discovered what I had been missing the first 40 years of my life. 200 gr bullet at 2145 fps will put a hurt on most critters in the lower 48.

I've picked up two more 35 Rems since then, a Henry and another Marlin.

 

How does the Henry compare to the Marlins?
Does the same load work in both?
The main thing I dislike about the Henry is the Henry name craved into the forearm. 🤮
And that is the only offering of it, it's a damn hunting caliber. Why only the shiny model was just stupid to me.
I sorry rant over, curious of your observations. Thanks.
By the way I own 3 myself, two Marlins and a Savage pump.

One of the best venison slayers imho! It’s been used on just about anything in this country, and it comes in a handy lever rifle along with pumps and autos! Try one and find out what you have been missing!

Regards,

 

I have 2 Marlin RCs in .35 Rem I have never hunted. I got on the .375 band wagon and never got off. One of my .35s I have never shot. Both are in very good condition and the one I did shoot does very good with the FTX loads and bullets. I hate to say it but at 1 deer a year I have a lot of safe queens. With the ammo and reloading supply problems I am not going out shooting to just burn ammo. I'm sure the .35 will do just as well as the .375 as both are pushing 200gr bullets at over 2100 FPS.
Have a great day.
Jim

 

Wanting a 336 in 35 REM. Just haven’t done it yet. Found a savage pump but really want a Marlin

 

Hi, I have a really nice one for sale on this site. If you are interested. Thanks.

 

While I have a 35 Rem 336, it may be hitting the sales rack today. Here in Oklahoma it just doesn’t add up. It doesn’t do much more than a 3030, and can’t do what my 444s or .45-70s can, and the ammo is much harder to find. No knock on its performance whatsoever, it’s just in a no man’s land on my rack. If anyone is interested in one we may be able to talk about it

 

If you are gonna sell or trade the rifle---do it in the Trading Post Forum! You are not allowed to buy or sell outside of that forum here on MO.

 

I do have a fond appreciation for my 336-.35Rem. It has brought home venison on more than one occasion.

interesting observation for me, @jwleeper, I have a .375 that I have never used for hunting! I’ve shot it a couple of times and now it is on display.
I would really like a pump in .35 Rem-if I could find one that’s affordable! Not big on semi-autos.

Just got my hands on some large rifle primers yesterday and am going to work up some .35 loads in the near future.

 

Agreed the 35 Remington is a great round. I have owned a few of them over the years but am down to only one now and it is the most accurate Marlin I own.

Same here ...

 

A Marlin 336 and Remington 81 in 35 Remington reside in my safe. Both are very good rifles. Still perfecting a load that will work well in both.

 

A 67 or 68 was the first Marlin I owned & I still have it! One of my favorite Marlin flavors. I have got a 100 or so more since then since. I enjoy a JM lever in many different flavors!

 

My fav caliber too!

 

My favorite rifle caliber for all around hunting.

Very nice 336A. I have a '55 336A in 35 Rem that I need to take out hunting...........

 

When I bought my n.i.b. ( KV code, May 1979) 760 .35 last year, I was looking for an unmolested waffletop 336A. Would still like one...
But I am NOT disappointed with the 760. Points like my finger, superbly accurate, VERY good ergonomically and extremely lethal.
Everything I need, nothing I don't.

 

Back in the early 90’s I had a chance to get a Marlin in 35rem or one in 356win….both like-new condition. Since I like oddball cartridges I bought the 356. Glad I did. I still hunt with it every year but wish I’d got the 35 too.

 

I have a 1994 336cs in 35 rem...I have taken at least 1 or more deer with it for the last 22 seasons...you could say that I love my 35 rem..it knocks hell out of them!!!

 

alawrence,

Classic looking weapon! I am hoping that Ruger/Marlin will bring out a 336 in .35 Remington soon. I believe that one is the model design to emulate (or at some point). I will purchase one (in a heartbeat) if Ruger manufactures one in this caliber (previous post). They read this forum and will respond if there is a viable market. Let them know! (I don't work for them but appreciate them in the acquisition of Marlin Firearms). The furniture on their products (wood) pictured is really nice! My two cents worth.

Paid top dollar for a 50's .35rem Marlin, in pristine condition. Liked it so much traded a well worn 30-30 truck gun for another in similar condition. When I introduced it to some friends, they absolutely loved shooting it. Matter of fact one homemade 1/2" target we shot spun it around once after the hit, and almost made it all the way through at about 75 yards. Granted it was mild steel, but it was still quite impressive. Thanks to all the guys here that recommended my first purchase, and a new fan was born.

 

Those who don't like the .35 Remington, ( probably) never tried the .35 Remington...

 

The pic shown below is just my 35 Rem Marlin carbines---I also own 1955 and 1973 era 336As in 35 Rem. I have a 1979 Rem Mod 760 in 35 Rem along with a Traditions G2 Outfitter single shot in 35 Rem. The latter two rifles can handle 200 gr Hornady SP Interlock bullets since they don't rely on a tube mag for housing 35 Rem cartridges. I get ~2,400 FPS MV with my reloads from those non-Marlin 35 Rems. I pretty much use my 30-30s Marlins as range rifles at the LGS. They don't go out to the woods anymore with me during hunting season.

Here is my Traditions G2 Outfitter single shot in 35 Rem that took down a garden raider a few years back.

Very old pic for my 1979 Rem Mod 760 35 Rem when I first got it. I got rid of the see-thru rings and mounted a Redfield Revolution 2-7X scope on top.

Here is the Rem Mod 760 after "surgery".

Very old pic of my 1955 Mod 336A--it now wears a 1970s Weaver 2-7X scope with a German style reticle. This my only Marlin in 35 Rem that shoots hard cast boolits accurately. It has Ballard rifling and is factory D&Ted which is a very rare combo in a Marlin rifle. I can't find any pics of my 1973 Mod 336A 35 Rem--I need to rectify that situation.

 

Hey All!
Check out my post in Wait? WHAT!
See what just a change of primer can do to the humble .35.
Yrmv.

 

I had been wanting to get a 35 Remington years ago but was having a hard time finding one, put an add in the local paper and ended up buying 3, a 1964 336RC, a 1958 336SC and a 1938 Model 81.

Lucked into a 1954 Remington 760 5 Diamond 2 years ago for $400 and a 1937 Model 141 this month.

So I guess you could say that I like them.
Shot a few deer the last couple of years with them and they live up to their reputation.

 

Well how about that, just when I think I may let my 35 REM go I win a bid on eBay for a Lee classic loader for $45. It’s missing the decapping pin but I have the universal on the press. Guess I’ll hang on to my 35 and my 2 boxes of ammo. I put that bid in 5 days ago thinking no way it’d win

 

I am waiting for a guy to sell me his, hope it's not much longer

 

Years ago, I was in the market for one. I never could find one. Even posted an ad that I was looking for one. A Marlin 336 in 35R. Never did find one. I no longer have an interest in owning one, as ammo is hard to find. And my gun budget is now dedicated to AR platforms, of which I own 5. I do have 3 lever actions though. Two Marlins, a 444, and a 30 30, one Winchester 30 30. Someday I may consider a 360 Buckhammer. I have seen the ammo for sale at Walmart. But for now, I think what I have in lever guns is enough for what I would use them for.

 

I'm a huge fan of the .35 Remington. Those old lever guns like the Marlin 336 and Remington 760 are classics, and the caliber itself packs a punch without the punishing recoil of some bigger options.
