Had a set of Weavers on Model 88 in the 60's and a cheap $18 Bushnell banner 3x9 scope on it. Killed a lot of deer and a few elk with it. Never did use the tip off too much.
The see thru mounts are an abomination. They set the scope too high.
The 336 comb doesn't lend itself real well to a scope but can be used as such.Personally I would put a fixed 2x or 4x on it. The smaller compact fixed power are light enough that they won't mes sup the handling of the rifle.
I always figured these smaller lever guns were meant to be quick handling, hunting the thick stuff types.
