I have a Marlin 336SC, in .35 Rem. that I bought from a co-worker, back in the '70s. I've heard many people say that it's about the best pig round you could want. Particularly if you are after meat, and want one shot kills. {Yea this might start some talk with the AR crowd} I have wanted a .35...

Howdy, from NE of Tulsa:
