Being a guy that has Marlinitis, I'm curious in finding out what everyone shoots and what is their favorite Marlin. I have 18 of them with my favorite being my 1895G.

18? wow, I only have one and it isn't a true marlin it's a westpoint made by marlin for some store chain, I don't know which one. Oh yeah it is chambered for the old reliable 30-30.

I have a "trapper model" in 30-30 and a .450 Guide Gun. Both are great. In fact, I just got a new low power Leupold for the .450 and can't wait to see what she will do with optics!

I only have two. One is a store brand, "Foremost" by Marlin in 30-30. Made for JC Penney. The other is a Model 375 chambered in, what else, 375 Winchester. The 30-30 is a beater, but shoots great. It's my truck gun. The 375 has less than two boxes of shells through it. Of course, I scratched it the first time out. Both were given to me.

1895 45-70
336 .35 Remington
1894 .357
Model 55 Goose Gun 12 gauge
My favorite has to be the model 81 DL .22 rifle that has been in my family for 45 years.

I actually purchased 8 of them, the rest belonged to my father. They are very old and in fantastic condition. I still hunt with most of them, but my favorite is still my 1895G.

Currently I only have my 336CS 35 Rem. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a 1894C 357 mag. soon though.

mcwoodduck · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2008, 02:43:58 PM »

I too only have three Marlins. But it also looks like I am the odd man out with only one being a lever action.
I have a 70's 1895 just plain rifle.
Here is where I differ from everybody else the other two are rim fire bolt actions.
882 in 22 Mag
917V in 17 HMR.
I really like the Mag best. I need to upgrade the scope on it to a Weaver like on the 917.
Both are a lot of fun to shoot.

Greenhunter · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2008, 03:33:22 PM »

In lever action: a Golden 39-A and a 1894 in .44mag

I also have one bolt action .22 Model 883
and a Marlin Glenfield semi auto Model 60

My favorite is the 39-A and I have not shot the 1894 yet as it just arrived! I hope it's a good shooter!

Chuck White · « **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2008, 02:34:54 AM »

I have 3.

444P - 444 Marlin
1894C - 357 Magnum
No. 20 - .22LR

I guess my favorite is the 444P.

Almost forgot: I also have a M-27S in 32-20

njanear · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2008, 03:14:20 AM »

I only have two Marlin levers - a ported M1895G and a M1889 .38/40 rifle (SN puts it in 1890 production). Outside of the levers, I have the Glenfield 60 .22, the Marlin 15Y .22 and the Marlin 25M .22WMR.

336CS - 35 Remington

wyocarp · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2008, 04:42:41 AM »

I have one that is a .457 (shoots the 45-70) and two that are cambered in the 50 alaskan. I guess I like a lot of recoil and big holes.

DEACONLLB · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2008, 09:02:39 AM »

I have 6--I have now added 3 more sense I posted this post would also like to add a mod 39 22LR.I guess I need to be kicked as I passed on a as new 39 in 22LR for 375.00 at the last gun show.

336 in 35 remington and

1894 in 44 mag

336 in 30-30

336 in 32 Winchester special this is the long barrel model.

1894 in 32-20 long barrel

1895 SS in 45-70 is as new was too nice to pass up 22 inch barrel very nice checkering. This is a blue mod. not stainless steel, cant wait to give it a test run.

Also have 2 Henry's 22 golden boy, 22 Winchester mag and which shoot very good and are real smooth but money wise the marlin is still the best value for the money.

I have a 336C, made in 1982, in .30-30, and a 336C, made in 1975, in .35 Remington. Both are recent acquisitions. The .30-30 was given to me in November, and was used to collect two Va. whitetails. The .35 I have had about 6 weeks. I have re-finished both, and both are good shooters. I load for the .35 and it likes the 180 grain Speer FP bullets and H-4895......just wish I still had that 336A I bought back in 1974.

Thanks,

336 in .35 rem
1894 .357
1894SS .44mag

WANTS!
45-70 SS guide gun (ported)
336 SS 30/30
Any of the LTD SS guns, but I'd ditch the laminated stocks in favor of walnut.
