Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! The Marlin 336 has been a staple in American hunting since 1948. Chambered in popular rounds like .30-30 and .35 Remington, it’s earned its place in deer camps nationwide. Marlin’s design choices set the 336 apart. Its side ejection and solid top receiver made scope mounting a breeze, while the introduction of Micro-Groove rifling in 1956 enhanced its accuracy. Over time, the 336 has adapted to hunters’ needs. From compact brush guns to longer-barreled versions, there’s been a 336 for most situations. Its reliable action has also made it a favorite for custom work. Despite ownership changes and brief production pauses, the 336 has endured. As of 2023, it’s back in production under Ruger’s watch. This lever-action continues to blend tradition with practicality, appealing to both long-time enthusiasts and newcomers to the hunting world.
