If something is too close to shot with a decent 4x scope,just rest the muzzle on the fur and pull the trigger. I don't think swing over mounts have been made for 40 years. A 12x variable on a Marlin 336 is like socks on a rooster,it doesn't belong there because it just doesn't fit.
My longest range Marlin, a 308 Marlin Express has a 2-7 Leupold,it is plenty of scope for anything ever chambered in a Marlin 336. Put something like that in Quick Detachable mounts and you will have something practical. What you suggest is ridiculous.
