A 1960 vintage Marlin 336 lever action

[duelist1954]

I think the Marlin 336 lever action is the best close cover deer rifle ever invented. This one was my father's personal rifle, which he bought in 1960, and I used it to shoot my first deer. In this video I'll demonstrate that the old iron still has what it takes.

The late 50's vintage 336 is IMNSHO the pinnacle of Marlin lever action manufacturing...

Thanks for the video and enjoy your father's rifle for many more years.
Couldn't help but notice that your club range was warm and dry.
Did you move somewheres?

I shot that footage about three weeks ago during an unusual stretch of dry summer-like weather. Since then it has been raining off and on...off if I'm indoors, on if I go outside to do something.

really nice rifle... I got one from a farmer I used to work for in High School as a young foolish man, ( & I'm not proud of this ) I traded it for a 19 channel CB radio, back when CB's were the rage

of course the guy I traded it to was a wheeler dealer, & later when I offered to buy it back, he had traded it long ago

I have had (My own) a .35 exactly like that and I bought a 45/70 when they came out in the early 70's. I would not even think about a '94 Winchester over a vintage Marlin.
