I love my marlin 336 in 35rem. If it is with in 170 yards I can put it in the boiler room every time. That is a little far to some for the 35rem but my marlin holds 1.35 inch group at 100yd off of the bench (some times a little better). Mine has the micro grove barrel and loves Winchester 200gr ammo. I put a Simmons atec on it which might be a little over kill, but in SC we can shoot till one hr after legal sunset. I will never get rid of this rifle. If it fits you, you will love it.

I picked the 35 for the bigger holes but my brother has the 30-30 and loves it to.
