Yep, I love the ergos on the 336, especially the pistol grip. It reminds me of the Marlin 1881 Deluxe, which I consider the most graceful of the tube magazine lever rifles.
Of course, the most elegant lever action ever conceived is the Savage 99:

I wish they would put the pistol grip stock on the pistol caliber guns. I hate the straight stocks.
Feed them Alfalfa and Corn for a while,yum!

Bought a Marlin 336T (straight grip instead of pistol grip) in 30-30 for $88 in 1976. Still have it and is in perfect condition. I think the stock is real walnut too, unlike the new stuff.
Love the "mico-groove" rifling.
Not if you shoot lead bullets and want any accuracy. There was a reason why they stopped using the micro-groove and went to ballard. (Plus the Micro does lead worst)
I've got 2 Marlin 1894 CS .357, one with each rifling and big difference with the lead.
Take care, Bill
Looks like Marlin is still using micro-groove rifling in the 336.

They stopped in the .357, 44mag. They all used to have micro-groove but went to ballard.
The 39 series is still micro-groove.
Your link does not come up for me right now.
But I'll still stand with that .357 ballard are much better for lead than the micro-groove!

Probably so ... but nothing a gun cleaning kit can't take care of. I never shoot non-jacketed bullets anyway.
