I like mine! Got a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem. & it's a tough little rifle. I put a Leupold VX2 2-7x33 scope on it which IMO is too much, a 1-4 would be perfect if you want a scope. They're great brush guns, love carrying mine when I'm hunting a thick area & shots are w/in 100 yds. It shoots both the Remington Core-Lokts & Hornaday Leverevolutions well.
