About the Marlin 336
The Marlin 336 puts a .30-30 lever action into brush-country service with a side-ejecting receiver that accepts scope mounts more easily than top-ejecting designs. The 20-inch barrel, tubular magazine, and solid-frame construction have not changed materially since the rifle's mid-century introduction, though production moved under Ruger's ownership in recent years. Its practical range sits inside 200 yards, where flat-nosed bullets remain legal for deer in states that restrict bottleneck cartridges. Aftermarket aperture sights and hammer extensions exist for scope use. Weight near 7.5 pounds steadies the gun offhand.
