Took my first White Tails with this rifle. It was my Dads and he gave it to me. I still have it.
Oops #2, the incorrect quote in my post also overwrote my first tube magazine advantage:
Tube magazine rifles are usually slimmer than magazine fed rifles.
Got a 1971.
I love shooting this rifle. More than my semi autos.
I've heard that tale before. Sad.
My wife had a boss whose wife (soon after to be ex) sold -while he was gone - all of his extensive collection. Happy ending. His second wife was a gun nut like he and had a nice collection to help start over.
Not the 94
Hunted and killed many a deer with it in the '70's, while at Fort Rucker, AL.
I foolishly sold it and bought a 700 through the R&G Club at Baumholder, Germany, in 1980, which I have regretted to this day.
That gun (the Marlin) was the best brush gun I've ever had.
Granted, the .35 Rem round was not the best deer cartridge for brush hunting, but I killed every deer I shot at, believe it or not, and every one within 100 yards.
I own Marlins but not a 336. I own a Mossberg 479 in 30-30. Very similar to the 336. I love my lever action 30-30. When scoped, it makes a formidable hunting rifle...and quite a good stand off platform.
Maybe I don’t understand what you are saying.
The model 94 Winchester’s magazine is loaded the same way the Marlin 336 is.
Once I split CA for TX I was able to add a decent AR and a 12 gauge to the battery, so I can’t really complain LOL.
If by recharging the magazine you mean load rounds via the side loading port, I am able to do so at any time on my Mossberg 479 lever action 30-30...even if not empty.
Father: 336C in .30-30.
I am a lever lover.
If you have to have a bolt, get a Browning BLR.
Still love my 300 Savage Model best but these rifles are fantastic!
I have a box of .300 Savage Ammo around somewhere. I never got the rifle.
Long story...

My gun acquisitions have stopped since I got back into riding. LOL. I am sadly having trouble finding time to shoot and ride as much as I like.
I’ve got a Nylon 66, a 795 Marlin, the 336, a RRA AR15 and a Saiga AK.
Each one has characteristics that I enjoy, but there something elemental about the 336.
;-)
now thats Fu$&en Cool!
Mossberg.
