I have been eyeballing a rifle in .35 Rem at one of my local shops for a while now. It's not as cool (and old) as a model 8, but not too far off...a pre-1920 Remington Model 14 pump. The price is a little high for the condition, but a nice piece regardless.

Now that was neat. As advertised. " to the dismay of ammo collectors......."! Priceless!

Ya that was neat but that rifle has no class Randy. Theres no brass on it.

Those Remington pumps in 35 Remington - the 14, 141, 760 - have been very popular, up here for deer hunting. I still see them come up for sale, but they sell, quick. Oddly enough, though, the Marlin 336 in 35 Remington wasn't nearly as popular.

Al, I have three, and not a one with any Brass.
I would like to have one with an Octagon, I may have to build it myself.

I have a Savage pump, was/is my first 35.

You know, even though I'm not one that is all crazy about the shinny brass.
If they offered it with an octagon barrel.

But then there's all that clutter on the forearm.
Plain or none at all would be fine.
But I/we have discussed all this before.
I so would like to have a 35 and a 444 with an octagon barrel.

I took a look at Henry's current line lineup. The closest, looks like the CCH Big Boy in .44mag. Octagon barrel, no brass, not quite the desired caliber.

I have a BBB in 44mag. that I bought used, and the brass has a nice Dull patina, and smooth stocks.
I like it fine.
A 35 figured like that would be darn near perfect.
Maybe they'll add the octagon barrel at some point, then I could just swap out the stocks myself.

The Marlin 336C in .35 Rem. was my first deer hunting rifle. I had bought that rifle new and about 30 years ago my Brother-in-law begged it off me. Later I found an older 1950s version and after a lot of TLC it looked great. Well my Brother-in-law married and wanted another .35 to take his wife hunting with him so he got that one as well. A couple of months ago I found a pristine Marlin 336C in .35 Rem. that was made in 1974 and featured a gloss blued finish, which I had never seen before. It no only looks great, it's a great shooter too. This one isn't going anywhere.

remarkable to have/find 3 such rifles .... do your brother-in-law and his wife actually hunt with theirs ..

Found a 1953 336a in 35rem.
$354 OTD.
24inch, Ballard rifling barrel.
Looks to be setting in a safe for some time.
The stock felt dry, bluing pretty good for a rifle three years older than I am.

Steal of a deal, Congrats.
Can't wait to see it.

I went to the LGS to pick up a couple more boxes of 25-20.
When I first saw it in the rack I assumed it was a 30-30 and started got put it down. I already have an xlr
Then saw the tag as 35rem. Started calculating in my head, camparing between the carbine I have and the "A".
The price kind of made me take it. The rifle price was a little over the cost of three boxes of 25-20 cartridges.
Didn't get the ammo.

Yep, that factory 25-20 is pricey.
Have dies and components will just load me own.

I'll just bet the ole 35 will be a shooter.
