Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions What Weaver base for a 336

I have a 336A with a 24-inch barrel and a half magazine. I'd like to put a scope on it but need to know what Weaver base to purchase. The rifle appears to be factory drilled and tapped.

It's a 63B.

Yep. Stock number Weaver #48069


Cheers, Scott.

I found a 63A in my parts box and attached it with some 8x40 screws and then mounted a 3X Leupold in regular Weaver rings.

Today I took the rifle to the range along with a box of Federal Hi-Shok 150-grain loads. After getting on paper at 25 yards, I fired a 3-shot group at 100 yards and it measured 1 1/8" C-T-C. I then adjusted the scope for a 2-inches high point of impact. The second group was 2 1/16", probably because of some lag or backlash in the scope adjustments.

Anyway, the rifle is hitting where I want it to and accuracy is acceptable so I quit right there.

I went with the full receiver length picatinny base. I only wished they would make a shorter XS version with the rear peep built in...

Go with the Talley and don't look back.
They are 1/4" strong from the bottom of the base to to the bottom of the ring.

Evolution Gun Works makes a nice Pic rail for the Marlins.

I do like the look of those Talleys though...
