Man, I'm really bumming out about this. I own a number of Marlins but like Statjunk, I will probably pickup a few more Marlins this weekend. I don't have a 336 in .35 Rem, so I may try to find one, soon. I have a 1895G and love it. I know you will enjoy your new 45-70 Tom. I'm afraid when everyone finds out that Marlin is selling to Remington, the prices will skyrocket.

Goodluck
Fred
