They ain’t making anymore. I would hang onto it and find a friend who reloads. I found 3 boxes this spring at a local gun show.

 

My LGS has a couple boxes sitting on the shelf........ $42 a box.
Keep that marlin!

 

Amo.is a problem for almost all lever chambers,356win, 375,444,hang on to it,amo will come around meantime get into reloading.

 

@Bob Niz JW? Don't you actually mean JM for John Marlin?

 

Yes. Thanks

 

$145 a box, that's worse than .444 was last fall on GB. That said, .35 Rem is the one ammunition that I still really haven't seen anywhere. I did run across about 6 boxes in an LGS a couple of months ago for $45-50 a box.

On the other hand, A different LGS had 18 boxes of .444 Hornady LVR on the shelf last week @50 a box.

Try AmmoSeek

 

If I were in need,I would consider that a reasonable price.

 

Keep the JM 35 Rem Rifle.

Believe I'll always say that about any quality firearm. I regret every Marlin, Remington, Ithaca, Browning, Colt and S&W, especially that Rem BDL 270 Win, that I ever sold ...every one of them.

 

Welcome aboard from DE. I'd keep it.

 

Keep it! 170 rounds of ammo? That should keep you sighted in and well stocked for hunting for several years.

 

Myself I try to keep 200 rounds for each caliber I own. When I fall below that I load another 100 rounds.

 

If your ammunition today is worth 350 bucks that means he would be getting the rifle for 450. Definitely don't sell it. I don't even think you should sell the rifle for 850 by itself.

 

I really have no hesitation keeping it if I were able to get ammo.



I agree! And I think the value is going to go up! The difficult thing for me is, I want to shoot it. Love shooting steel at the range. Can't do that with the ammo limitations.

 

No brainer for me. It stays with me. Unless you need the money for something else. Life happens.

 

Keep it. There are other places to by ammo besides gun broker, you have to be diligent and look. You can get into reloading and never have the problem again. It does not take $1000 dollars to get into reloading, it can be done for less money than you expect. IF,,, you shop and stay away from the "best" stuff, as the "regular" stuff works just fine as long as you are not trying to shoot dime size groups at a mile. I did not mention brands on purpose, as every brand has it's loyal followers and absolute haters. Just like vehicles.

 

I would keep the rifle. If you have 170 rounds of ammunition, then you have 170 cases you can reload.

 

Of course keep it. That a real question? Lol. Never mind the fact that we are all enablers that will only tell you to get rid of the gun if you are selling it to “me,” you would get so much more if you sold the ammo and rifle separate by yourself. I would imagine the ammo easily goes for $350-$400 on Gunbroker, the rifle, probably $600-$700 based on recent auctions I’ve watched. A 336 waffle top SC .35 REM went for just over $600 the other day, I know because I was bidding on it.

 

The gun shop has to make $. I believe you could get around 7-800.00 for the gun with prices these days, but not selling to a gun store. The ammo 45-50 a box is the going rate around here.

 

Keep it unless you’re desperate for cash.

 

I know some of you guys get sick of hearing the handloading "experts" push for that....but me being very new (2 years) to reloading in my early fifties it has changed the game for me. Absolutely love it and I'm shooting more now than I have in the past 25 years combined. Single stage press set of dies some powder primers bullets you are good to go for life my friend. Shoot to your heart's content!

It's not rocket science you guys can do this. Trust me all your friends and the women within reach will be impressed

 

Unless a need for cash is critical -- no sale. If you look, you definitely will find ammo at a price that may cripple, but will not kill, you some time in the next year -- but I'll bet you won't run across another .35 336 SC in that time ...

 

I have a 336, 35rem, 1951 in like new condition, Won’t sell, but at 6$ per shot, don’t shoot it much
O shoot my Ruger SBL 45-70 more, 2$ per shot,

 

Keep it at that price.

 

definitely keep it

 

Hold it; I wouldn't sell it period and what he is offering you is a whole lot less than what a new one from Ruger-Marlin is going to cost folks...

 

I also say "hold on to it!" If you sell it the regret will kick in almost as soon as it is out the door. It won't take up all that much space in the closet or safe until ammo is available again. Or get a little Lee Loader to get your feet wet with reloading, if you aren't doing so at present.

Hornady, Remington, and Federal will probably be making limited runs of 35 Rem for the fall hunting season soon, it's not produced year round due to low demand. There are just not enough 35's out there to justify increased production while they are making bank selling all the NATO calibers they can manufacture.

 

If in doubt keep it. Ammo may be tough to find. Missing your gun forever is much harder!
