I own a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem. Good round!! But here's a little food for thought,in my neck of the woods .35's are going for $28 a box 30 30's are $18 a box. The 30 30's are readily availible,the .35's are getting harder to find.I've owned both calibers & to be honest with you the both killed deer very dead.IMO half a dozen of one 6 of the other.
