35 Remington

Post by ditto1958 » Sun May 12, 2019 10:12 am

I am very interested in seeing the new Henry in 35 Remington. I emailed them on more than one occasion asking for 35 Remington. Since they answered our requests I think maybe I need to seriously consider buying one. I have a 1972 Marlin 336 in 35 and I like it a lot.

Hope to see pics and range reports when members here get them.

I felt the same way about the Henry H009 (30/30), since I had the Marlin 30/30 (336) for years as well. I liked the tube feed, alittle more in weight, the ballard rifling. To my surprise, it's more accurate (H009). As it stands now, the Marlin is my spare 30/30. IMO, the ballard rifling is a big plus for the accuracy, I don't remember if the ROT is the same in both rifles. Keep us POSTED, my friend.

With the .35 Rem getting its foot in the door (nose in the tent, etc. ;) ), maybe we'll see that caliber as an option in other centerfire models soon. Great strategy by Henry to introduce the loading gate model in a couple of cartridges we've been clamoring for, though :) .

Henry is a 12 twist, Marlin is 10 except for the XLR that is a 12 twist Ballard rifling.

Love my 35's, got a pair of Marlins a '60, and a '75 that I had shortened to 16.5", and
a Savage pump.
Don't really see a need for another, even though an octagon barreled one would be cool.

I bought a brand new 336 in .35Remington just a couple of years ago.
I had heard the Remlin quality had improved from the takeover fiasco, so thought I would give them a try.
I really wanted a .35Remington, and the Marlin did not disappoint.

It is actually very slick, quick handling, and accurate.
I like it a lot, and even took 2 doe in about 4 seconds with it a couple of years ago.

That said, I've been eyeing the new side-gate Henry in .35.
I may have to sell the Marlin to fund the Henry, but I think it would be a good trade-off.

Mgderf, I checked out a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem last year in Idaho Falls. Brand new and slick as a whistle. It was really nice rifle. But, my heart was set on a .45 Colt. Henry. Which I bought.

Well, I just went and looked.
Looks like I'll be holding on to the Marlin for quite a while.
I had no idea the side gate Henry's were upwards of 1
$1k.

That's a bit too steep for my wallet.

the $1K is a MSRP .... once they get out there in significant numbers, the real world price will be considerably less

Northern Firearms on GB has the 38-55 for 829.00 with free shipping. I bet when the 35 hits the shelves it will be priced the same.
