Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
My old 1960 Marlin 336 SC .32 Spl. comes through again this past Dec.
As usual one shot and down w/Remington 170 gr. ammo.
Can't get the pictures to show up here hopefully the links works

Also took this 305 lb. Black Bear last year with the old Marlin .32 spl. one shot and down.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
Great photos! I have my eye on a pre-64 1894 in 32 spec, this thread may have convinced me that I need it.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
Nice whitetail and bear. I love the 32 Special and have carried one hunting it for the past 42 years. I have a pre-64 Winchester model 64 and a pre-64 model 94 carbine that I switch between. Between the two, I've taken dozens of whitetails and a handful of bear. Also many medium sized game. A fine cartridge.
Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
Nice ! I've taken two deer with Marlin's in 32 Special . The first was with a RCBS 32-170GC in a 1951 336SC and a receiver sight . The other was with a Marlin Model 1936 shooting the Lyman 321297 with a tang sight .
Quite obviousely there's not a darn thing wrong with a 30-30 , however I'd rather have a 32 Special

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
If some manufacturer would bring that caliber back for a limited run, I think it would sell well once we recover a little more from the abusive economic warfare of the recent past. There are probably enough who would want one to make it a viable proposition for a limited run.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
When Hornady saw fit to bring out the rubber tipped Leverevolution 32 Special I wrongly assumed Marlin would bring the 336XLR out in 32 Special . I was chomping at the bit for one .piller wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 7:48 am If some manufacturer would bring that caliber back for a limited run, I think it would sell well once we recover a little more from the abusive economic warfare of the recent past.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
I remember when I saw my uncle's Win 94 in .32 special. I'd never heard of it before, it looked like my dad's .30-30. Uncle explained to me that the .30-30 was a deer rifle and the .32 was a bear rifle. I'm guessing that was the common line of thought during the early 60's.

Re: Old .32 Spl. Deer and Bear
Rusty, That was How I heard the talk of the two rounds in the early 1950's up in the Michigan woods. I reckon the difference in the bullet diameter made it better for bear.
