35 Rem. and the 30-30 Win. are about the same in ballistics.
The 30-30 cartridges are available everywhere. I don't see where the 35 could be an advantage unless you wanted something with hard to find ammo.

Depends on how much difference "about the same "
means to you.
In the early ‘50s, Marlin advertised this as the “brush-busting .35,” though today we know from exhaustive testing that virtually no bullet can go through heavy brush without being deflected. However, as an active deer hunter in my younger days, I noticed that the .35 seemed to take down white-tails with distinctly more authority than the more popular .30-30. Noted Henry M. Stebbins, one of the great rifle authorities during that period in American firearms history, “…the 336 was not planned as a mountain rifle. Adding the .35 Rem to its lineup made it one of the best-liked rifles for those who want considerably more than .30-30 power, but not high velocity or flat trajectory.”
