A Marlin 336Y is as good as it needs to be
Yup. That's how I rolled. The stock has a shorter LOP but the plastic buttplate is skinny, so I removed the buttplate and put a thicker pad on it. Tapped out the rear sight, and installed a Skinner winged sight on the action and a taller front sight, and its GTG! Handy and accurate! Next step is putting a butt cuff on it. So many projects so little time!
