I am somewhat familiar with the 336. Newer or older, I don't have much trouble with either vintage. I appreciate the fondness for the old rifle, but I also lack the problems sometimes talked about for the newer models. I've had then sold Marlins in 30-30. No real trouble, but just wanted the 45-70 instead and needed cash so I sold the 30-30's and kept the 45-70. Along the way, I've discovered the Henry 30-30. Since I already have a 45-70, I can't see why I need a 30-30. But if I ever decided I can afford to buy a deer rifle I don't really need, it would be a 30-30. And it would be a Henry 30-30.
