I stopped in at the local gun shop today and saw a brand new REP stamped 336 in 30-30. I was very impressed. The wood was very nicely checkered. The wood to metal fit was VERY good. The front of the wood mated up with the back of the reciever so well I could not see any light between them like I have on ALL of my Marlin made 336's except for one. Bluing was a nice deep dark blue. The action was smooth and worked nicely.
I think I am going to be looking for Remington made Marlins more often.
