It's nice, but it would be nicer to differentiate the 336.  As pictured it's a clone of the Ruger 45-70 SBL.

SBL all the things. I want a .44 1894 SBL and an SBL 39 so I can shoot mid sized and tiny dinosaurs.

And was blued instead of SS, and a walnut stock.

Awesome!  I was wondering if they'd bring out something similar to the 336 XLR.  Granted it doesn't have the 24" barrel, but the rest of the gun surely fits the bill!

About time.

Been waiting for this.  Rather have blued straight stock with barrel threads.

Edit:  When I see the first Trapper, it is mine.  Money will be no object.

I would much prefer this with a straight grip and regular lever. Meanwhile check out the Winchester 94 web page. They have a fine selection of lever action rifles with a straight grip stock

-Rifle with 20in barrel

-Carbine with a 20in barrel

-Short Rifle rounds out the lineup with the short and handy 20in barrel

All 3 of these exciting variants are available in popular calibers like .38-55 or .32-20 or .25-35 and of course, .30-30 because since you’d have to rob a cowboy museum for most of their calibers it just makes sense to chamber it in a popular round that disappears for 2 years every election cycle.

Yeah and.35 rem. I need one to go with my.356 win. Preferably 16” barrel or even a custom shop SBR with a 14” barrel.

16in .357’s  would fly off dealer shelves even with the pistol grip and silly loop lever.

I want stainless Marlins in every caliber. I’m excited for 30-30. 357 would be my next hope. And 44 eventually. I really enjoy my Ruger-Marlin 1895s.

If that stupid scope rail comes off I'm interested. Even more so if it comes in walnut rather than plywood.

They really are.  I had a JM 336 XLR, handled (but not shot) a Freedom Group (Remington/Marlin) 1895 SBL, and now own a Ruger made 1895 SBL.  The JM 336 was definitely nicer than the Freedom Group gun, but in all honestly the Ruger gun seems the best overall.  It definitely has the smoothest action of the 3, granted Ruger now nickel plates the bolt and flutes it which I am sure helps, but the fit and finish is definitely way better than the Freedom Group gun and seems to be better than what I recall from the JM 336.

The Ruger gun is also by far the most accurate.  I haven't accuracy tested mine yet, but I've seen people shoot around 1 MOA with them and it's a freaking 45-70.  I was shooting around 2 MOA with my 336 XLR if I recall right.

I still think Winchester is top of the heap for current production lever guns, but the new Marlins are so close I could almost say it's 1a and 1b at this point.

Nah there’s more of us who realize curves are better. The haters should flock to Winchester, since traditionally rife caliber Marlin levers have *mostly* been curved pistol grips and Winchester’s *mostly* went with straight grips.

And in before pics of safes full of relatively limited run straight grip Marlins and old classic Winchesters with curved grips. Hence the *mostly*.

Just to taunt people, here's my 1894 CSBL in .357 .


I think stainless PG larger loop levers are the best lever actions can get.  Threaded could be fun, but they're fun enough already without being suppressed.

But will the 336 SS trapper have the reduced LOP of the 336Y?  That would be the only draw to me, is if it was similarly light weight and easy handling as my .357.

Is that a Hailey thorntail light mount or what light mount is that?  Should I ever get a trapper length Marlin I would also mount a light like that.

NOPE.  But, get both anyway.



More importantly, get them dirty.

@dsmith45

I think that's the one.  Been a few years, but I'm pretty sure it's that, or a derivative thereof.  Keeps the light close in tight to the barrel, and also gets it forward enough to use naturally with my support hand.

It is, I've got one on my old block1 clone, works great on carbine gas ar.  Never even thought about using on a rail like that, nice.
