It's nice, but it would be nicer to differentiate the 336. As pictured it's a clone of the Ruger 45-70 SBL.

Awesome! I was wondering if they'd bring out something similar to the 336 XLR. Granted it doesn't have the 24" barrel, but the rest of the gun surely fits the bill!

About time.
Been waiting for this. Rather have blued straight stock with barrel threads. Edit: When I see the first Trapper, it is mine. Money will be no object. |

I would much prefer this with a straight grip and regular lever. Meanwhile check out the Winchester 94 web page. They have a fine selection of lever action rifles with a straight grip stock
-Rifle with 20in barrel -Carbine with a 20in barrel -Short Rifle rounds out the lineup with the short and handy 20in barrel All 3 of these exciting variants are available in popular calibers like .38-55 or .32-20 or .25-35 and of course, .30-30 because since you’d have to rob a cowboy museum for most of their calibers it just makes sense to chamber it in a popular round that disappears for 2 years every election cycle. |

16in .357’s would fly off dealer shelves even with the pistol grip and silly loop lever.

If that stupid scope rail comes off I'm interested. Even more so if it comes in walnut rather than plywood.

I had a JM 336 XLR, handled (but not shot) a Freedom Group (Remington/Marlin) 1895 SBL, and now own a Ruger made 1895 SBL. The JM 336 was definitely nicer than the Freedom Group gun, but in all honestly the Ruger gun seems the best overall. It definitely has the smoothest action of the 3, granted Ruger now nickel plates the bolt and flutes it which I am sure helps, but the fit and finish is definitely way better than the Freedom Group gun and seems to be better than what I recall from the JM 336. The Ruger gun is also by far the most accurate. I haven't accuracy tested mine yet, but I've seen people shoot around 1 MOA with them and it's a freaking 45-70. I was shooting around 2 MOA with my 336 XLR if I recall right. I still think Winchester is top of the heap for current production lever guns, but the new Marlins are so close I could almost say it's 1a and 1b at this point. |

The haters should flock to Winchester, since traditionally rife caliber Marlin levers have *mostly* been curved pistol grips and Winchester’s *mostly* went with straight grips. And in before pics of safes full of relatively limited run straight grip Marlins and old classic Winchesters with curved grips. Hence the *mostly*. |

Keeps the light close in tight to the barrel, and also gets it forward enough to use naturally with my support hand. |

Hmm, this thread may cost me money. Not a big lever gun guy, but something about a 30-30 trapper has always called out to me, just never bought one as the used ones I've seen at gun shows always seemed high priced. That new Marlin looks interesting with the threaded barrel.

Those are awesome! Should a fella sell a classic 1983 Marlin 336 in VGC to get one of these new Rugers? TBH, I’m very tempted after acquiring a new Ruger 1894 SBL. I don’t need two 336 30-30s. I sat in bed thinking about this thread last night before bed. Seriously.
Things I prefer on the Ruger over the Marlin: 1) Nicer wood. 2) Better low luster finish. No crappy Mar-shield to chip off and yellow. 3) Normal rifling = better accuracy 4) Parts availability from Ruger 5) Closer tolerances and better finish of metal work. Higher quality product with less jams. Am I overthinking this? Would I regret it? |

View Quote I don’t think you’d regret it, but I also don’t get too attached to JMs. You made a whole list in favor of the Ruger. Do you have a list in favor of the Marlin? You seem content with the 1894… which I will totally be getting an 1894 in 357. |
