Great story Jevyod, lots of memories there, my friend.

I really like my 336 in .35 Remington. With handloads and either Hornady's 200 gr Rn or the 200 gr Leverevolution bullet I get 2" groups at 100 with a 2.5 scope off the porch rail. Recoil is ok and it's a deer killer with either bullet. The Remington 200 gr Core lok is has better expansion at factory velocities, but doesn't group (3 shots) as well as the other ones. Here's a pic, with a Leupold 2.5x Alaskan scope mounted...a nice trim rig. Regards, Rodfac
