You have to understand that the Model 94 was an icon amongst lever action rifles and the standard of comparison at the time. Unfortunately, the revisions included the Model 94 lever action rifle. Many folks prefer the Winchester 94, and that’s perfectly fine. That was the year that their revised (for cheaper manufacture) line of firearms was introduced. But that doesn’t mean the Marlin is “better,” just different. In the end, Paul simply likes the Marlin better than the Winchester, and I do as well. To me, this is testimony to the Marlin’s much-slicker action (yes, I’ve owned and fired both). Moving on to a speed test in which he shoots five soda jugs as quickly as he can, he’s able to complete the course with the Marlin 336 almost one second faster than he did with the Winchester. In the accuracy test, the Marlin provided a slightly smaller group. Tackling the age-old question about which one is better, he heads to the range to fire them side-by-side. Receiver - Winchester has an open-top receiver and ejects out the top Marlin had a solid-top receiver and ejects out the right side.Safety - Winchester requires user to squeeze the lever to deactivate the trigger-block safety Marlin does not.Stock - Winchester has a straight stock Marlin has a pistol-grip stock.Paul’s “three main differences” between the two models are as follows: It’s about the two lever action rifles most often chambered for the 30-30.
The 30-30, originally known as the 30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), is a subject unto itself and not the point of this. We’re talking about the Winchester Model 1894 (94) and the Marlin Model 336, and the venerable 30-30 Winchester cartridge. In this video, Paul Harrell takes a look at a pair of classic lever action rifles that have stood the test of time, chambered for a cartridge that has seen popularity and widespread use in three different centuries.
