scope for a marlin 336
- Thread starter JerryD.
- Start date
Forty or so years ago I had one with a Bushnell Banner II 1-1/2-4x with a heavy post reticle. Always felt that was a perfect setup for that gun.

I've had a Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 on 2 different Marlin 336s in 35 Rem. One I currently still have and another I stupidly sold to a member on this site. Instantly regretted it, and bought another. I'm really happy with it.
This one interests me

S1 1.75-5x32 G2
Compact, lightweight 1-inch design, is waterproof fog-proof and shockproof with modern optics to deliver the optical needs of the modern close range hunter.

what base and rings did you have on your rifle?I've had a Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 on 2 different Marlin 336s in 35 Rem. One I currently still have and another I stupidly sold to a member on this site. Instantly regretted it, and bought another. I'm really happy with it.
I have a red field 3x9 on a Marlin 30-30, it came with the gun in 91 from service merchandise. Never seen a need to change it.
My 35 is open sights never got around to putting a scope on it even though it was drilled and taped before I got it.

I have two Marlin model 336's, both 30-30 win caliber, with Burris Fullfield E1 scopes, 2x7x32. very nice, clear and compact scopes.

I personally recommend selling the rifle to me!
Ha!
I'm with you on this one brother. That's what's on mine.
I also just installed the same on my new Henry Big Boy.
Light weight 4x, 1x3 or 1x4. I like the fixed 4 Leupold and Weaver V3.
I've had a Redfield 2-7x33 mounted low on mine for years now and it works great. If using it strictly for a woods gun, though, and you're willing to spend that much I'd at least check out eBay for a higher end used Leupold 1-4x20mm.

What scope mounts are you using on that beautiful rifle ? Thanks
Leupold 3-9x50 I believe on my 336c 35 rem
It has a Warne Maxima flat Weaver style one piece base and Burris low matte Zee Rings in matte. Gets the scope about as low as you could mount one…..and thanks for the compliment!

A good fixed power scope would work on a 30-30 ,4 or 6 power . JMO
I picked up a Leupold 1x4 AR scope in a trade that works perfectly on my 336.
