Long live the 35 Remington

I picked my third 336RC Marlin in 35 Remington and took it to the range to check for accuracy, I was not disappointed.
I did some fast shooting at 80 yards with some handloaded 200 grain Hornady RN, the last 4 shots plunked into a 3/4 inch ragged hole.
The 336 is scoped with 4x Scopechief IV with a flip up Command Post, this will be my spring short range bear gun.
I tried some longer ranges up to about 200 yards with the 35, even though the velocity was just under 2000 fps, the bullets landed only a couple of inches lower than where I aimed.
I see no handicap hunting big game at sensible distances with the 35 Remington, a very under estimated and under appreciated cartridge.
