I anticipate Marlin (Ruger) will be bringing both the .360 Buckhammer and the .35 Remington to market over the next year. The .35 Remington isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
The .35 Remington is NOT being discontinued, however it is moving from scheduled annual or every 2 year runs to intermittent, i.e., unscheduled. That means if you like or NEED the 200 grain bullets, buy when you find them. Personally, I doubt Marlin (Ruger) will bring out the 336 in .35 Remington as a standard issue, and it they do, it will be in coordination with a major ammo maker. I suspect it will be a limited run or Distributor Special. That is what Ruger did with the .358 Ruger American Rifle.

Last fall (2023) there was a LOT of .35 Remington 200gr. available in Pennsylvania shops and gunshows, but hardly any in Virginia as similar prices. Prices in PA ranged from $30-$80/box. A few years ago .35 Rem in 150gr. pointed was all you could get for a long, long time.

Ruger already has a number of rifles chambered in .350 Legend, I am not sure why they would go big for both a rimmed .360 Buckhammer and a rimless .35 Rem. for Marlin regular production, unless they want to go against Henry.
