Just curious, what problems have you had with Marlins??

Admittedly, between the 336 and the 94, my experience has been with rifles made between 30 and a hundred years ago, neither one has given me problems and both are accurate for what they are. Some shoot better than others, but I've never noticed Win being overall any more or less accurate than Marlins.

Can't speak to the newer made stuff, no personal experience with them, though I've heard Marlin's made after Remington took over weren't good for a few years.

Of course, the Win 94s made after the 1964 changes weren't good for a few years, either...
