Built on Marlin’s 336-pattern solid-top, side-eject receiver, this 308MX is rollmarked for the model and chambering and carries the North Haven, Connecticut barrel rollmark. The receiver is drilled and tapped with a four-hole pattern, offering straightforward mounting options consistent with the platform.
The rifle is chambered in .308 Marlin Express and uses a partial-length tubular magazine with a 4+1 capacity. Its 22-inch round blued barrel is carbon steel with a factory 1:12 twist rate designed for the cartridge and typical bullet weights associated with it.
Sighting is set up with a ramped brass-bead front and a receiver-mounted aperture rear sight for a precise, fast sight picture. Controls include a cross-bolt safety with a red indicator and an external hammer enhanced by a hammer spur extension for easy cocking and decocking.
The two-piece checkered wood furniture provides a secure grip, complemented by sling swivel studs for carry options. A brown hard buttplate with a molded Marlin horse-and-rider logo and black spacer completes the classic look. Length of pull measures 13.5, and the blued carbon steel finish throughout presents a traditional Marlin aesthetic.
