We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
Having hunted with '94's (pre-64) and Marlin 336's (pre-1950), my pick for a saddle gun, ranch work, chasing hounds or thick cover where a scope is a drawback and weight savings for carry effort are important, I'd grab the ''94 every time.
For just about all other hunting, the 336 is a far better rifle. Significantly more accurate, scoped easily and an action that is smoother (and stronger for handloaders). Scoped, and with the shooter savvy on .30-30 trajectory, it is an entirely capable 200-yard deer rifle.
My 1948 336RC will rival my fat-barreled varminters for precision shooting. even with it's 1.5x Lyman Alaskan scope. None of my 3 pre-64 '94's (not even the .25-35) can touch it, even when the Lyman comes off.
