The Marlin 336 chambered in 35 Rem is one of the more popular rifles for deer hunting in this area. I have heard some folks claim it is the best all around cartridge for deer.

My Dad used to have an old Rem Model 8 in 35 that was a lot of fun too. He used to say how he could take the head off a partridge at 100 yards with that rifle.

Too many people have fallen into the "greater velocity is all that matters" crowd. Their reasoning would make my 45-70 about useless.

They have a lot to learn.
