The Marlin 336Y “Spikehorn” with 16.25” barrel and 12.75” LOP was my favorite configuration. Such a handy little carbine. I wonder if Ruger will bring it back?

Let's hope. Those little buggers are incredibly handy and useful, especially with Skinner sights. I'd like to get another one to send off to JES for conversion to .375 Win.

I wish I bought the youth guns years ago.
I am short and like a dummy I had a bit of a bias against them and preferred regular guns. Regular guns that I shot a lot, all summer long in a T shirt and did fine with them. Then come winter when the cold weather clothes came out I’d fumble a bit on mounting the longer stocks. I should have embraced Youth length a long time ago. Their downside is they always had the cheaper birch stocks, no checkering or pressed checkering. I am older now and have a few guns with McMillan stocks I ordered with shorter LOP. We may not see the lever guns other than .22s come in a Y size. They’re no longer $350 starter guns but now trendy boutique harder to find guns that cost over a $k.  . Youth guns are now cheap plastic stocked economy bolt guns that even put a dent in the handyrifle break action sales. We can hope though. |

I’d be in for one, but I don’t want to spend more than $600-$700 on one. I think they are going to have to find a way to reduce costs on a few models, because when you can buy a kid a bolt action youth rifle with a nice scope for $1000, no one is going to buy a lever action with iron sights for similar money.
I bought an R92 .357 for an “always” rifle to pack around while bumming the backroads. I’d trade it for a 336Y in a heart beat. |

The new marlin/rugers I have seen have been beautiful guns , wouldn't expect Ruger is going to work very hard at creating a budget model , not the way they roll.

I also have a Winchester 94 Big Bore and a Ruger #3 in .375 Win. I like .375 Win  That's why I want another 336Y: the Model 375 is just too nice to start chopping on it, and .30-30 is just too damn useful to convert the one I have. |

Picked up a Marlin 1895 Trapper last night. Very impressed I bought my sons Marlin 1895 SBL 6 years ago. The quality of wood fitting and finish is better on this trapper.
I bought an 1895 Dark just before Marlin folded, biggest turd I had ever seen. Chamber looked like it had been cut with a cold chisel. I wound up getting a refund for it. |

I have a Remlin 336Y. It came with the laminate stocks. I had to send it back because it would shoot 12”+ high at 100 yards with the rear sight bottomed out. Remlin sent me a new rifle back that did not have the laminate stocks (at least the rifle came back with useable sights/barrel/accuracy). I really wish I could find those laminate stocks.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PigBat: The cloverleaf is very intriguing. Any comments on its usefulness v. a standard aperture? Seems pretty gimmicky, your eye will fine the natural center of a rd aperture quickly. Why add something that won't help but possibly cause your eye to focus on the cloverleaf and not the front sight? If I read their description right, there is just a leaf spring that holds rear sight up, not a mechanical assembly. Between that and all alum construction, I'd take the more robust and better looking skinner sight. |

If the prices are based on manufacturing vs demand the long term will not be great for Marlin. MSRP used to not mean much but street prices have been up there in many cases. I expect the 1895s to be up there. The 336Y not so much |

They are nuts if they think I’m paying that much money for a 16” .30-30. The whole appeal of the 336Y to me was that it was a compact, budget beater. If I was going to spend $1500 on one I’d get a really nice vintage Winchester.
