Very Happy with the purchase , Marlin 336Y Spikehorn . Love the compactness and balance of this firearm. Easy carrying and quick pointing. Marlin quality has greatly improved. I upgraded mine with the XS peep sight set. It's become my favorite rifle for poking around on the farm.

For anyone thinking this will be too short I put a limb saver pad on the stock which gives it another inch or so total length and it honestly feels VERY similar to my 1985 GBL. I love the way it feels. I am an average guy 5'10 medium build. A much bigger person may find this to be a little small but I think it feels perfect. I love the short barrel lever guns everything I own is in 16 or 18" barrel length. The 336 is not quite as smooth as my 1895 in 45-70 but it's still smooth and got smoother after the first range trip. I love how little recoil the 30-30 has can shot all day long with the limb saver recoil pad.

Maybe I got lucky but this "Remlin" is really nice. Nice wood, nice even finish on the metal, decent wood to metal fit. Came with hardwood instead of laminated but honestly I like it better. Accurate too. Factory sights are so so, a set of XS sights with the .120" appeture are a BIG upgrade. Needs a recoil pad too!

Accurate, easy to maneuver. This is a great compact rifle, not just for kids or small people.

Better off getting a Big Henry. Marlin's quality has gone down the tube since the acquisition by Remington/Cerburus. Functional but forearm kept slipping forward under recoil.

Great compact field/woods rifle. Action cycles smooth and fit and finish are pretty good for a Freedom Group firearm. Added a sling and ammo sleeve. Plan on getting it threaded for my suppressor because suppressed lever guns are just badass. Gonna be a deer rifle. Buds was awesome as usual.

Some good and some not so good. First off the action was fairly smooth and ammo fed reliably. The wood to metal fit is good. Big improvements over earlier Remington made Marlins. Now for the bad, the wood appeared to have been stained, but no finish applied. I took the forend and butt stock off and put a coat of tung oil on each. I bought this rifle for my Godson to hunt with me and it should work fine. I mounted a Leupold 2x20 scope on it and it's a perfect fit for this smaller rifle. I tried several hand loads at 50 yards and got honest 1" groups, but I'm still working on zeroing it for 100 yards.

Everyone needs a 30-30 for their first deer gun! This beautiful 336 is my Son's. It has a little shorter stock for youth or the ladies. He doesn't want a scope, so the buckhorn sight must work as he has no problem dropping deer each year

Awesome looking well made lever action 30-30. Very pleased with this Marlin 336Y. Highly recommended if your looking for a short 30-30 rifle.

Upon inspection I found small areas where the bluing wasn't done well and very small scratches here & there. The front sight is bent a little to the left, but I was planning on replacing that anyway. It certainly has a heavy trigger that I assume will break in with use. Overall not 5 stars, but still worthwhile when you can get it at a lost cost and with a Marlin rebate!

seems ok....action pretty gritty but its new....shot fine....wanted to lock up on me a few time during ejection cycle....sure it will smooth up over time....size in perfect for hiking etc where you might need more then a pistol....threw a red dot on it.......all in all probably worth about $100 less then I paid for it.....seems to be a lot of complaints about marlin QC lately from what I've read.....Remington needs to step up their game......

Return customer hesitate a lot before purchasing this lever action specially after all the negative review about Remington taking over marlin In the end pull the lever and got my self a very nice lever action for the price thank you bud

I just bought my 2nd Marlin 336Y (REM-LIN). I found the 1st one to have a very good build, wood/metal fit is good, the matt-finish is well done (this finish is employed to keep price down, after all this is a cheaper basic model), the hardwood stocks are nice, the forearm is the smallest I have ever encountered on a Marlin (Winchester 94 like), the trigger pull and the action is good and smooth, the bolt is now black, and the accuracy is minute-of-clay-pigeon at 80 yards with factory sights (I'm adding a receiver sight, at that point I'll see how it really shoots). So you're asking WHY did I purchase a 2nd--because this is not a youth model, what we have is a factory built TRAPPER in 30/30 at a very good price (and I going to use the 2nd one for HD, I dislike a 12 gauge for that role). The short stock fits me well, same position I use on may AR-15, but if you don't like the stock go and buy a full-size. Because of it's size this Marlin 336Y is a great basic truck, camping, and HD rifle--I recommend that you buy it before they are gone--BUD'S as always is great...

great service from buds. after reading a few bad reviews on marlins quality in recent years, and a lot of good reviews on this model I ordered one. I am impressed with this riffle, it is a bit stiff in the action but its new.

Handy little lever action . I didn't care for the finish. Similar to a parkerized finish. Bud's was awesome. Thanks.

Great little woods gun !!!! This is the youth model so it has the small barrel and stock ( Meant for kids) Bought a adult sized stock for it from ebay for 30 bucks and now this gun is sweet ! Of course buds was amazing . Highly recommend this product for anyone looking for brush/Truck gun .

Bought this from Buds about a month ago. Shipping was not that fast, but it was sure as always. Price was fantastic! I had read about all the problems with "Remlins" over the last couple of years and was worried about the quality, but none of those fears were realized. The wood is beautiful and matches up pretty well with the metal. The blue is a nice consistent matte. I had heard about metal shavings found inside the workings of these guns but mine was nice and clean. The action is tight! But after working it several hundred times it has lightened up a lot and is not unpleasant at all. I have been using the open sights and some old ammo I had sitting around and it is accurate enough at 75 yards to kill deer or pigs. I have ordered a scope and some newer ammo, and hoping the groups will tighten up a little. Love the short barrel and stock. I am 5'9" and it is nowhere near being too small. The only problem I have encountered is a few jams feeding rounds into the barrel using flat nosed bullets. Ejection of empties is kind of weak also. My Rossi 92 and Winchester 94 kick the empties several feet away. This gun kicks the empties several inches. But other than that I love this gun! I highly recommend it for anybody looking for a brush or truck gun. Well worth the money. This is my new favorite truck gun, beating out a Ruger Mini 30.

Bought this for my 11 year old. He's a small guy, has trouble with full sized rifles. We have fired it about 50 times, and he has fallen in love with the gun. It did get jammed once, but I think it may have been user error. I plan to let him master his iron sights, spend a couple of seasons deer hunting with it, then we'll scope it for him if he wants. I am happy with the purchase and recommend this gun for younger/smaller shooters who want a lever gun. I've owned many Marlins thru the years and they've never failed me, expect this one will last a lifetime as well. Buds was great and the gun was in perfect condition when I picked it up from my FFL dealer.

Excellent truck gun brush gun treestand gun for heavy cover swamp like in Florida here. The small rifle points great shoots accurate to 150-200 yards with factory ammo easily. the action is stiff and will take time to wear in smooth but overall a great gun and investment for deer seasons to come. Buds has the best deals on new and used weapons hands down in this market, I saved over 50.00 from shopping locally and know if Bud's sells it then Bud's garuntees it and is 100% truthful and accurate in pricing and mechandise across the board. I have bought scopes and guns over the years and still have all I purchased from them in 100% great shape and always get what you pay for with shopping @ Bud's. Thanks a loyal customer who always refers friends to save money shopping here

Went and picked up my marlin 336y at my FFL. and it was in new condition and very happy with it. I love the way it looks. It's hard to stop staring at it. Got this because my brother had a full-size old 336. when it was my 16th birthday he let me shoot it.and that was the coolest rifle I had shot at the time. And since he passed away in 95. I always remembered that rifle and it reminds me of him. And that's very cool. Got the youth model because its small and handy for 25,50,75,100,150yards maybe 200yds with good ammo. And its smaller than my amd-65. Very pleased with purchase. thank you very much buds

Picked up my purchase from my local FFL today. It was packaged with care and is in perfect condition. Having been around this type of firearm all of my life, I knew what to look for and it meets and exceeds any of my expectations. The action is smooth, it is sturdy and will fare well in brush type areas especially. Although perceived as a youth type rifle, unless you are well over 6', this is a very reliable and easy to use rifle for all.
