A few guys are convinced that the .05" makes a real big difference; but I think you would have to ignore the numbers and really want to believe it.
If the casting and reloading aspect of it didn't interest me, I would have just stuck to the 30-30 myself. I'll do a little math to improve the ballistics for fun, but if I wasn't doing that, it really wouldn't make much sense unless you really like having something different.
I'd estimate that probably 90 some percent of the .35 rifles out there are Marlins. They are beautiful rifles, and they seem to command a little more money in .35 Remington.
