Bearhunter,<P>I put a set of Talley mounts on my wife's Marlin 30-30 <A HREF="http://talleyrings.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://talleyrings.com/</A> , additionally, Leupold <BR><A HREF="http://www.leupold.com/home.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.leupold.com/home.html</A><BR>makes a QD scopemounting system for the Marlin 336.<P>El Lobo in NM

Thanks EL Lobo,

I have one on an old Marlin that I like very much. I think Weaver made it. It consists of a channel-shaped rail that screws to the top of the receiver, and rings that clamp to the rail at grooves and hand-tighten with knobs. It holds point of aim very well when you remove it and replace it. You can see the iron sights through the channel when the scope is removed. -al

BearHunter: Hate to admit my vulnerability to flashy new things, but: in fits of weakness, I've tried a coupl'a new QD setups, including Leupold's and Warne. Truth be known, none showed ANY improvement over the old ugly Weaver for retaining zero. They may be prettier, but I question their ruggedness in comparison. -John
