The Marlin 336 is superior to the Winchester M94.Your GF made a good choice.Another fine LA is the Browning BLR.I've never been a fan of a lever action. If I were to get one it would either be the Marlin 336 or a Browning BLR.

my girlfriend got me a marlin model 336 for x-mas and i was curious if that is a good lever action 30-30 or is there something better

I've owned a couple Marlins (30-30 & 45-70), and they've been very reliable, accurate firearms. Tried a Win.94 one time - sloppy action, and not near as accurate as the
Marlins. Your GF done good!

The Marlin 30-30 by far a lot better than Winchester. The Marlin is a lot more rugged built and has side ejection. Winchester 94's have top ejection - and while they are wonderful rifles in their own right, they're not as strong as Marlin.
I have a Marlin 30AS (a cheaper version of the 336A) and love it. It is a sweet shooter and dead on accurate to 150 yards or so.
Your girlfriend made a great choice, getting you the Marlin! Merry Christmas!!
