Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has announced the release of the Marlin Model 336 Classic.

“The legendary Model 336 helped to build Marlin Firearms into the iconic American brand that it is today,” said Ruger president and CEO, Chris Killoy. “We have worked for many months on every detail to ensure that Ruger’s reintroduction of this iconic rifle lives up to its stellar reputation.”

Chambered in .30-30 Winchester, the Model 336 Classic sports a beautifully finished American black walnut stock and fore-end. Crisp, clean checkering on both the stock and fore-end improve the appearance and grip of the rifle. The stock’s black pistol grip cap is inset with a Marlin Horse and Rider medallion, while the fore-end is attached using a barrel band.

The alloy steel rifle is richly blued, features a standard-sized finger lever and has a six-round magazine capacity. The 20.25-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged, which improves longevity and yields ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy. Like the classic 336, this rifle features the gold-colored trigger.

“Our focus continues to be on quality,” continued Killoy. “We remain committed to making firearms that are rugged, reliable and can proudly be handed down for many generations. The Model 336 is no exception.”

Marlin logo

The Ruger-made Model 336 Classic is marked “Mayodan, NC,” bears an “RM” or Ruger-Made serial number prefix and features the red and white bullseye in the stock.

Additional models, in different calibers and configurations, will be released throughout 2023. For more information, visit marlinfirearms.comMSRP: $1,239
