I have been stalking a 336 Octagon for a month now. It is very clean, but, the factory sights have been removed front and rear, the rear blanked, and a Williams receiver sight with (I believe) a Williams front post fitted into the dovetail. Wood, fit, and finish is nice, but, the price is high. I have a 2009 336 C that I could offer up in trade, but, I really want to keep it too (it is nothing special and doesn't really shoot well so far, but, it was the first NEW 30-30 I ever bought).
The seller is priced a little high on the gun and says it's because of the custom sights. I have tried to suggest that he keep the williams sights, but, that isn't working either.
I want this gun (I am afraid I am too bitten too recover). I would like opinions on the 336 Octagon. Were they shooters? The 22 inch octagon barrel balances nicely and the gun is very quick to the shoulder. ARRRRGH, I am so glad that my wife can't read my mind. She doesn't understand that a man can't have too many Marlins. Thanks and sorry for the rant. rc
