It's more affordable than housing.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 not hard to beat the JM Marlins for fit and finish as shown in the video.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.
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.
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".I think I will contact Ruger about my 8# plus trigger on my Trapper to see what they say.
