Saw a nice one recently. But I have not seen ammo for it in awhile. Here and there. Unless I start hand loading, is it more of a nostalgia thing now or a waste of money on another reloading set up?

35 REM is still a prized caliber (in my neck of the woods, Maine/NH) and with a vintage 336, even better. I would buy that in a heartbeat. Worry about ammo later.

Worry about ammo later. This. OP, if you want one, that’s a decent price in today’s lever gun market … which is insane, BTW. But it is what it it is. I’d prefer one in 30-30, but I wouldn’t turn my nose up at the .35. It’s a solid cartridge for a woods deer gun. |

I’d consider it if no safety present.
2 boxes will last a long time whenever you find some ammo. |

I saw one for around 1k a few years back. I didn't buy, a) don't use that caliber to hunt, b)just sold a 30-30 so why bother with something so similar, c) I don't like ancient calibers.
But at your price I'd buy and flip it. |

Pretty much any lever action s worth $650.00 used these days, marlin / Winchester run even more.

GOOD price,even better if it is a JM marked barrel gun.Lever gun prices are crazy.
35 Remington ammo is available though sparingly. When I bought mine I gathered brass and bullets too.It is a joy to shoot and used @ it's effective range delivers DRT Deer. |

I got one, a JM marked, when my FIL passed away, along with a Winchester lever and Stevens bolt action both in 30-30, a few 22s, and a few shotguns.
The 35 REM is a bit an older, show a little love & use, but feels solid and shoots well. I’ll hand it down to my son and hopefully he’ll hand it down to his kids. As others said, the 35Rem is a good whitetail round for the thick woods, so go buy it, if you hate it, you’ll probably be able to sell it for a profit at anytime. |

Probably already gone. As stated previously if it's a JM marked bbl and no safety rifle.....hot property right now. Unless it's completely clapped out.

I havent seen ammo on a shelf out here in over 2 years. If you dont mind paying g $3-$4 a round on GB, it's a nice caliber.
I said screw it and dumped mine. 45-70 is more better anyway and way cheaper. |

Hurry, 4 boxes left at $53 each. I bought and shared here at a lower price a year or so ago.

I picked up a rem model 8 in 35 Remington, a few years back and have been able to find ammo when needed, mostly gun shows
Edit: I would buy a lever gun in 35 rem at that price!! |

I picked up one about 10 years ago on the EE for $275. I love it a shoot a couple hundred rounds of handloads through it each year and take it hunting.
Ammo can still be found. I picked up a couple of boxes of new mfg. Winchester this winter at Fleet Farm but it was almost $50/20 rd box. Same with brass, found new mfg. Horandy at Fleet Farm. if I remember correctly that was almost $50/ box of 50 |

I have my Dads Marlin in 35rem. I've seen ammo at gun shows but they cost a bloody fortune. I reload for mine. Never not shooting!
$650 is a great price for one. |

Not to me. I’ve passed on plenty in that caliber that were priced much cheaper. It’s a dead caliber commercially and very near unobtainable. Brass and bullets are supposedly difficult to source as well. At least the last time I even considered one back during Covid. Maybe things have improved?
ETA: I just jumped on GB and everyone is right. Sellers are asking stupid money for them. |

My father in law bought a nice pre safety 336 in 35 Rem about 10 years ago, before the lever gun craziness hit.
Got him a couple of boxes of ammo for it, and we shot it a few times on the farm one day. Then he called me one day and asked what a S&W SD9 was worth. I told him not a lot. He said "I traded that 35 Remington for one. I think I did pretty good"

Yes. 336s in 30-30 are going for 850+, a 35 remington JM is probably worth quite a bit more.

The problem is that there just isn’t much of it on the market even when they do a once a year run at the factory. I did a deep dive via a variety of forums a few years back when I stumbled upon one for cheap. Guys have been complaining about .35 Rem ammo availability for almost 20 years. It ain’t coming back. It’s a reloader only cartridge and you better take care of that brass. |
