Kudos for Ruger putting out the Marlin lever line up. For the most part I think they are getting it right. I now own a Ruger made 1895 trapper and the fit and finish a very good. The action is also very smooth for being new but my god the trigger is horrendous! For almost $1500 I would expect better than a 8# trigger with creep. I have not shot it yet but with the state of the trigger I would not expect small groups. I probably will work on this before I even attempt to shoot it.

@osprey , reach out to wild west guns and see if their trigger is compatible.
I know it's more money, but you know... in for a penny, in for a pound.

 

[osprey]

I believe it is compatible and is on my radar. It also gets the known trigger slop shake rattle and roll.

Nice to see the 336 is back.
Now only if it is affordable ...and while I am wishing...it would have kicked the crossbolt safety to the curb.

It's more affordable than housing.

I remember back in the late 80s when I bought my marlin 336 yeah, $379 out the door at the Fort Lewis PX!!!

It's not hard to beat the JM Marlins for fit and finish as shown in the video.
That guy's Ruglin 336 looked perfect.
Too bad about your trigger, but it can be fixed by a competent gunsmith.
I guess I was lucky with my late model Remlin 1895 trigger....it was awesome out of the box.

Help me understand why I have such an urge to buy a Ruger model 336 in 30-30.

Never mind that I was just 16 when Grandpa loaned me a 30-30 Marlin 336 for my very first deer hunting trip; that's not a rational reason to buy one now. Ignore that the very first deer rifle I ever bought for myself (and regrettably sold) was a Marlin 336. Macht Nichts that - at age 50 - I used Grandpa's Marlin 336 to knock down my very last whitetail. Likewise, skip facts like, "I don't hunt anymore" and "I don't need any more firearms for self/home defense".

Since I don't let nostalgia run my life and I have a solid, rational reason for not buying, why do I want that Ruglin 336 so badly? Help me fight it. Tell me the MSRP, so I can tell myself that's way too much money.

Model 336 Classic

Looks like MSRP is listed at $1,239.

 

[Knobgoblin]

So , the problem with that is...I would try and wait around for 1 to land on the used market for under a grand. This probably won't happen, because Ruger.
I played this game and lost at least a dozen times in the last 20 years.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I traded mine for two SA handguns in 2002, my son is still upset with me about that…

 

[ATCclears]

@salmon creek gary why stop at just one rifle in .30-30? I have both a Marlin and a Henry in .30-30.

 

[Barefootdog]

They're soooo close..

336 in .35

add a waffle top receiver and I'd require medication......

 

[osprey]

I think I will contact Ruger about my 8# plus trigger on my Trapper to see what they say.

Have a sinking feeling that you'd ship the rifle to them, Ruger would have it for 2 months, and it would be returned saying it's "in specs".
Ask me how I know
I have the 'happy triggers' in 2 of my 4 Marlins. Easy to install if you've ever detailed stripped a 336. They work great!
Hopefully, the Ruger 336 is a exact copy of the Marlin as far as the guts of the rifle are concerned.

Wow! Makes one miss the days when you could find nice used JM Marlins on the racks at your LGS for around $500 or less, depending on how many years you go back.
