Marlin Model 336 in .35 Remington
The Marlin Model 336 chambered in .35 Remington is a classic American lever-action rifle widely used for deer and black bear hunting, especially in wooded areas. Produced by Marlin Firearms, the Model 336 has been one of the most successful lever-action rifles in North America since its introduction in 1948.
General Description
The rifle features a lever-action repeating mechanism with a solid steel receiver and a tubular magazine under the barrel. It is designed for quick follow-up shots and reliable operation in hunting conditions.
Its side-ejection design allows the easy mounting of a scope, which helped it become a favorite modern alternative to older top-eject lever rifles.
