I have a Lyman 66LA designated for Marlin 336 and wondering what else it may be used on. Thanks. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think." Joe Harz "Always certain, often right."

However one of the bases has a wider bevel at the top of the base to fit the contour at the top of the action. I forget which but I think it’s the one that suits the Marlin. If you’re careful you could file the bevel down so it fits the other model. Don’t just mill the bevel off as the aperture arm screw uses the top of the bevel as a stop.
