[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1688948, member: 82005"] Well I have a 1983 Marlin 336 in 35 Remington caliber. Just acquired last year and it is pristine and has only had 40 rounds fired through it. In northern New Hampshire I live right up against the woods barely 15 yards from heavy woods. We have Black Bear that come around 2 to 3 times a week. At best, with the woods around me I can shoot 50 yards. Not long range but I am counting on my 35 Remington with a 200 grain Hornady FTX bullet with Muzzle velocity of 2225 F.P.S. or a 200 grain R.N.S.P. with a Muzzle velocity of 2040 to kill a bear IF I HAVE TO when it threatens my family. The Marlin 336 in 35 Remington is zeroed in at 25 yards and hits dead center at 200 yards with said ammo. I do shoot long range with my 308 Howa Bolt action and 5.56 AR-15 rifle but i don't trust the 5.56 to bring down a Bear at 50 yards and the 308 is a heavy barreled bolt action zeroed at 200 yards.
