You should take a look at the Marlin Owners Forum. They call them Remlins now. That forum has an entire section called the Marlin Rant Forum. You won’t see much of anything positive about Remington there.
I own one Savage bolt gun in .17 HMR. Well made and accurate, and I never hear anything negative about them, hence my decision to go with the Savage 10, but I’m still open to other suggestions. I may not end up with a Savage. I think the stocks on the 10's are different than the nice wood stock on mine. The price of the Savage 10 is very appealing. Heck, I may not even end up with a .308, but another caliber.
