Sorry to hear that Marlin isn't making their LAs with a factory provision for receiver sights anymore. The last new one that I bought was my 1895G about 5 years ago, and it is.
That's a pity, IMO. I know that the popular trend has been toward optics on about all types of hunting rifles over the last several years, but to my mind a receiver-mounted scope on a light, handy 'brush carbine' messes with some of the very qualities I chose it for. For one thing, it makes secure hand carry at the natural balance point awkward, if not impossible. I don't know about everyone else but, even though almost all of my LAs are equipped with swivels and a carry strap, when I'm actually hunting or woods bumming with one of them it's nearly always being carried in one hand or the other.
Of course, there are still the Williams Guide, XS, Brock, Wild West Guns, and other 'peep' sights that use the holes provided for the scope mount so the option for easy DIY isn't gone entirely. Most of these complicate things a bit by making a new, higher front sight necessary, but that's generally not a big deal to do when there's a ramp involved.
mustanger98, while I agree with you in principle the original topic was 94 vs 336 and, IMO, when most folks think of a 'thutty-thutty' that's what comes to mind first. Personally, I've got fond memories of a certain Savage 170 and remember a boyhood friend's 340 that would shoot MOA or a tad better with his handloads and a side-mounted Weaver K4. It convinced us that the .30-30 had a whole lot more potential than it was given credit for when you could top it with a good spitzer.
