If I already had the Marlin, I'd stick with it and spend the extra money on accessories. It only weighs a pound more than the Win 94 (stop being a bitch). From what I understand, the 336 is about 4 inches longer than the 94. If you want to shorten up the Marlin a bit and lose a little weight, throw on a "
Youth Stock".
Regardless, it sounds like youre off to a good start. I'm rocking a very similar set up on a 1895 Guide in 45-70. The only difference is that I installed an extended magazine tube off of the "Cowboy" model, giving me a capacity of 6+1.
I definitely recommend the Leupold Scout scope on the XS rail. For rings, I like the Leupold QD's as they allow one to remove the scope and use the iron sights in a pinch. Not as fast as ARMS mounts, but its solidly built and good enough. Also check out the
Wild West trigger. It's much cleaner/lighter/more predictable than the stock set up.

Trolling aside, if whatever you do in the real world doesnt work out, you should definitely look in to working as a sales rep for IMI. Your knowledge of their product line is impressive.
