I just bought a new 336 Marlin in .35 Remington. The rifle is new production. It has none of the horror issues I have read about in the "Remlin" rifles. I quit shooting lever actions over 20 years ago. I have a Winchester 94 in .30-30 that shoots about 3" at 100. A 94 7-30 Waters that shoots 1.5" at 100. A Marlin .30-30 that shoots about 2" at 100. A .444 Marlin that shoots 1" at 100. a Marlin .45-70 that shoots 1.5" at 100. (Well, that's what my dope book says they shot 20+ years ago when I put them in the safe.)
The new 336 shoots 4" at 100 with Remington 150 Interlocks and about 3" at 100 with 200 Leveroution. Have not handloaded yet because I have to get enough brass. My question: Is this accuracy typical for the new "Remlins"? Should spend a lot of time hunting a pet load, send it back to Marlin, or just say oh well this is typical of what the current production of rifles is doing?
