The list goes on. Most modern rifles just have shitty plastic components """because they don't need to be alloy""", """think of the weight savings!""", have production issues. It's extremely hard to find a rifle at an affordable price-point that is: >Without common production issue >Without any plastic parts >Operates well and is accurate >Available in stainless >In a fibreglass, laminate, or walnut stock
>marlin >expensive no. they're cheap as fuck, you can get a new 336 for 400 bucks >canted sights they always have had that problem. no new marlin I have seen has had that issue but it's an old problem.
only problem I have with marlin is them putting safeties on all the rifles.
Juan Brooks
biggest problem with Marlin these days is that their customer service is terrible
Ryder Nguyen
Tikka.
Gabriel Walker
I can't fault you there, but the 336 is still a dang fine rifle.
Gavin Stewart
I hate the plastic follower and Hogue stock. It's not bad for the price though.
Yeah but a stock 336 is shit. I suppose it's to be expected at the price. By expensive I more mean their other models such as the stainless/laminate versions that cost like $1000 retail
Did you read the OP? >shitty single stack magazines that cost way too much >single action size with different bolt stops to accommodate a """short action""" >magazines the same in all action sizes, just uses a shitty plastic block to reduce COAL >plastic trigger guard
Hunter Green
Consider the following: You just watch too many action flicks and have unrealistic ideals about guns and marksmanship from watching too much media
Carson Robinson
>stock 336 is shit sounds like you haven't had much experience with a 336. they're fine rifles and do the job really well.
I paid 200$ after some discount for a mossberg patriot in 30-06 at academy with some shitty 3-9x40, though the stock is kinda crappy and the magazines are expensive it seems like a pretty good hunting rifle especially for 200$ out the door

I've owned a 336C made just at the end of the JM stamping. It cycled smooth but it wasn't accurate (which lends more to 30-30 than the 336), and had canted sights. I didn't think it was great.
Asher Baker
Are the new models getting better? I heard Marlin was bought out a while ago and the 336 started to suck really bad though they were getting better.
Christian Cox
Im not even going to read your blag because hunting rifles have never been better. 600 dollars will let me shoot out to 7-9 hundred meters, including glass and ammo. Buy a laser range finder, buy a bipod. Buy fuckin night vision for cheap.
Never been better. This is a golden age
Josiah Adams
I will not lie, they were shit from 2008ish to 2015/2016. They completely changed their manufacturing processes and massively upped qc
>marlins made right now are shit >based on an opinion of a really old rifle I used to have
This is one of their most expensive 1895's. Broke out of the box. Don't try the "they've always had that problem" response either. That makes it even worse. Looks like QC is just as bad.
>never been better Fuck no. Maybe you're getting more for your money than previous times, but the bar is dropping in all fronts.
Carson Richardson
Oh fucking please ever since the surplus dried up the cheapest you can find is 250$ for the shittiest piece of crap and even then to get that price you'll have to fight with some boomer and hear about how "these commie guns are the highest quality you'll get for this amazing price"
Adrian Robinson
Get an AR15, no problems hunting with it yet. If you need a .30 caliber, get an AR10. Use 5 round mags for the hunter.
The AR is literally the end all be all rifle. It does everything well.
Carter Flores
/arg/ go away.
Lucas Cox
I wish. I can't get semi-auto's here.
Hudson Sullivan
Winchester Model 70, still the best at a reasonable price!
Xavier Lopez
>can't own semi auto >has never touched a gun >thinks modern guns are all shit kys on a reddit livestream
Jace Baker
I would legit get one because they're so affordable (especially given the quality of the walnut you usually get), but I'd be too worried that I'd make it look like rusted roadkill after one trip into back country.
Ethan Walker
Y tho? For that price i'd get a k31 and some good ammo
Anthony Williams
>hunting with a milsurp
Leo Flores
Thinking about a suppressed 300 blackout bolt-action. Is this worth $475?
You're not really supposed to buy spare magazines for a bolt action. Unless it's one of the rifles that take pmags or stanags.
Ethan Ross
475? No, you could get it for cheaper I think. I got my Ruger American .308 Win in Stainless for $350 with FFL fee. Keep hunting, I'm not really a fan of the shorter barrel bolts anyways, I figure if you're sacrificing capacity for accuracy, go all the way.
Ryder Adams
Build it yourself if you don't like the factory options. Pick your favorite action, get a barrel and stock for it and quit crying.
Lucas Brown
you sound poor
Liam Morales
Not him, but what's wrong with that
Dominic Turner
>For that price i'd get a k31 and some good ammo And wind up with a rifle less accurate than any rack grade Savage.
Blake Ortiz
Savage 111 Hog Hunter, you fucking nigger. Can your old mauser beat a boar to death with the barrel and still hold zero?
