Yup, depends on what you're looking to do with it. Browning BLR's are great as they come in the widest range of calibers and you can use pointed bullets to take full advantage of some of the calibers long range capabilities it's chambered for.

Full disassembly and cleaning nearly requires a gunsmith or at least a very experienced amateur as they are complicated and need to be timed properly.

Marlins are great for their simplicity, easy to take completely apart and clean, lube, etc. They don't have the selection of calibers the Browning does but can use a PSP bullet of some fashion if you use Hornady FTX ammo.

I have Marlins in 35 Remington and 45-70 and they are accurate and function great. Just not much use beyond 200 yards. It can be done but there's better options.
