Update: Marlin 336 scope mounting

[Peakbagger46]

Thanks to all who weighed in last month with suggestions for my 1950’s Marlin 336. I ended up using a Warne Maxima one piece base and Leupold rifleman low rings. Cheek wield is outstanding and the entire setup (scope is a Leupold 1-4X20) only added .7lbs.

This is exactly the low setup I was looking for. On 1X this thing is just as fast as an Aimpoint. Behold the mule deer brush gun:

.......... That's the way I like 'em on a lever gun. And I love being able to take advantage of that 1X setting when needed. It's quick indeed ! And 4x is plenty for anything that I'll use a .30-30 for. IMHO a 1-4X 20mm is perfect in this role. I think I may prefer the looks of those Leupold Rifleman low rings compared to the low, old school Weaver rings currently on my Marlin. They are definitely sharp!

if you do put on a hammer sperr i recommend u replace the hammer spring, i have seen many 336s get light primer strikes when they had the spurr on. the spring is cheap, not worth the loss of a animal.

A variable w a 1-2X on the low end is pretty darn sweet in the sticks.
Makes movers easy.
I run an old .35 rem pump (Rem 760)) and went w Rifleman low rings.
The stock comb designed for iron sight usage.
But w scope mounted low its entirely usable.
Glad to see a proper scope setup on your rig
I see them come into my LGS w see through rings. Old rigs.
And some folks setting up new ones like that.

Yours should be making meat with ease.
