Good for you! Nice prize, sort of like a Guide Gun except easy on recoil. I like the combination of (not too) large loop, laminate stock and short barrel. Add receiver sight or ghost ring and it would be perfect!

Great rifle! I have several big loop Marlins, most are JM but a couple of REP guns as well.
Could easily become your go to rifle, my 336BL did! |

Really like mine, but I'm going to sell or trade it for a lever action in 357 Magnum so I can hunt here in Ohio with it.

Picked it up today. Cleaned and lubed, will shoot it Monday.
The Good: - cost me $40 - nice wood, stock fitment - decent blue job - handy size, was able to cram it in my gun safe - not horrible trigger The Bad: - crappy rear sight - trigger flops back and forth for no apparent reason - "6 shot" magazine only hold 5.75 rounds The Ugly: - bad, occasionally horrible stiction when opening the action - sometimes requires 2 hands to open - lever has a hard 90 degree edge - slices up your knuckles every time the lever sticks |

Sell tha POS and use the cash to buy a used JM Marlin, assuming you want a lever gun. |

My dad has one in 35 Remington he bought back in the 60's and it's always been a jam-o-matic. I think it'll be fine after break-in/polishing the guts and beveling the lever. |

Still not bad for $40
My 336Y was a POS too and I paid over $400 for it
Once you work out the kinks they're handy rifles, if a bit heavy for all the bigger they are. |

You got a great gun for shorter range for things like white tail, hogs, and black bear. I've had real good luck with mine since I started using the new hornady lever ammo and got the cabela's scope for this specific round. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a deer at 200 yards with this gun. Before, with a simmon's scope and the older rounds- not so much.

Shot it today... only at 50 yards, but the sights were on and it grouped well. Definitely needs a peep sight; buckhorns suck donkey balls. Action locked up hard a few times and required 2 hands to crack open.
Spoke with the gunsmith at my LGS. For $100 he'll dehorn and Cerakote the lever and polish up the internals. |
