While it's not a sexy gun or round, I really like my Marlin 336. It's a very accurate gun and have always been impressed with them. I like how they are shorter and how you can hold them pointed down occasionally and the barrel won't hit the ground. The added scope is a feature I like as well.

For ammunition, I guess the round is sexy now because I use the Hornady LEVERevolution 160gr FTX. It's a newer polymer-pointed bullet rather than the round nose and the ballistics are superior down range. It makes it an easy 200 yard gun.
