Re: 32 Special
Gopod Luck! I'm hunting with an old Winchester 1894 take-down in 32 Special this year. Put a three leaf sight on the oldgal and I'm good at 50, 100 and 200 yds! Hitting an 8" pie plate eveytime.

Nice outfit! A pistol grip 94 is hard to find much less having a part round barrel to boot. Good on you!rbertalotto wrote:Gopod Luck!

Re: 32 Special
Hey Marlin, you hail from Michigan? Nov 15 opener?
This is plagiarized from someone else, but I love it!
I was born a gun owner.
It wasn't a choice.
I didn't become one later in life.

It is a 336A, 24" barrel. With the Federal loads, it will put them in a clover leaf at 75 yards off a bag rest. Good trigger, not as good as my dad's 30/30 Marlin, but close. Just a smidge heavier.
I am in Nebraska, 14th opener.
trying to get my 81 year old Dad out, last season was so cold, he couldn't take it (I almost couldn't either) but this season I think will be near normal temps.

Re: 32 Special
I had about a 1950 336SC in 32 Special I killed a few deer with it with peep sights and cast lead bullets (of course I cast them as well) . Liked it plenty , I actually prefer the 32 Special over the 30-30 . Also had a nice old Marlin 1893 in 32 HPS and a Marlin Model 1936 as well in 32 Special . I shot cast in all three but the only one I ever killed a deer with was the 336SC .
Few years back when Hornady saw fit to bring the rubber tipped bullets out for the 32 Special I was 2000% sure Marlin was gonna bring the 336XLR out in the 32 Special and I had my now deceased buddy that owned a gunshop checking all his distributers each week for something that never surfaced

Re: 32 Special
Think when I started selling them off I had five of the SC's a pair of 30-30's , a 32 Special , a 35 REM and a 219 Zipper .Chuck 100 yd wrote:A Marlin Sporting Carbine in .32 sp. is a rare bird indeed. Nice rifle !!! I searched for quite some time to find the SC 's I have.
I really would have liked to get my hands on a 336SD in 32 Special . The SD was the Deluxe version of the SC , someone sold off a collection of them about ten years ago on Gunrboker and I think he got $700-1200 a piece for them then .
