That's a 68 Marlin 336RC origianlly chambered in 35 Rem that I had rechambered to 356 Winchester by Regan Nonneman http://leveractions.com

I took it to the range with some 220 grain Speer loads that clock 2300 fps and it shot great! 1" group of three at 50 yards - but it shot very high. So, I installed a higher front sight.

I also replaced the Redfield receiver sight with the XS as shown and put the sling swivels in place. Also strapped on that pad but the rifle didn't kick nearly as much as my previous 356 Win chambered rifle - a Winchester 94AE big bore. But I think the pad will stay because it is just so comfortable.

Looking forward to hunting with this fall in the woods.
