I have some before and after photos of the Marlin 336RC in .35 Rem. that I picked up just yesterday. The rifle, made in 1957 had some water damage to the butt stock, other than that it was in good shape, but needed some TLC. Here's the photos. Don BEFORE:    AFTER:    |

Thanks guys! I took it to the range today and dispite the rain I still got some shots in. This photo shows three shots using Federal 200gr. .35 Remington factory ammunition. I have reloading dies on order, but had to buy a box to try it out. The group is from 50 yards and measures 5/8". Don  |

I have it on good authority that someone on this forum has caught the leveraction rifle bug, so here's some fuel for the fire. Cheap target, but great load. This 50 yard group used 200gr. Sierra bullets over 39.6gr. of Varget with a COL of 2.485". I used Lee's factory crimp die and should be getting about 2100FPS. Don  Shot from 50 yards using my Marlin 336RC made in 1957. |

Don, I forgot completely about this thread. A year ago, wow, how things have changed. Looks like your rifle is shooting a Mickey Mouse pattern there! You certainly did a great job restoring the rifle, and it eas made in 1957..... What a piece of great Americn history.
