I could not help myself. I bought a beautiful SBL a year ago and have been enjoying it so I wanted a stainless 336 to go with it. I found one on the shelf at Cabela's but before I could make my mind up it was gone. I ordered this one in and am so glad I did. As nice as the other was, this one is even better.
It is in every way equal to my very nice 336 Texan, 1977 manufacture date and definitely JM built. I love my Texan, but the new rifle is better built. Just being fair.
The Marlin Owner forum is promulgating a hate campaign by several of the members including moderators. I have owned a number of Marlins over the years, yes there was a transition period, unfortunate to say the least. But any fair person would be objective and see that huge strides have been made and that the rifles now are in fine quality. Always treat any gun, new or old, as an individual and evaluate it on merit, not based on an internet vendetta that is increasingly a rant without merit itself.
