Nope. Irons for mine. Could not ever find anything worthwhile.

I have an Aimpoint Micro R1 mointed on an XS Lever Rail on my Marlin 45-70
My dad used the same rail on his Guide Gun but with a Leupold FX-II Scout Scope. Both work very well. Not 30-30's but same idea Pic of mine  |

Played with this idea a couple years ago, I abandoned it when I figured out the price of the mount exceeded the cost of the rifle.

I have the XS Scout rail and their sights on my Marlin 1894 44 Mag with Leupold's 2X Scout scope on it. I haven't taken it hunting , because of lack of drawing tags, but I like the way it feels/shoots.

I put a 3x9 Bushnell on my 336CS. It worked "ok." I was 12 years old and didn't know any better at the time. Haven't taken it out of the fun safe in nearly 25 years though. It was replaced by my meat ax....a circa 1986 700 ADL in 30-06.

I have a scout scoped 1895. Not the guide gun.
About the same thing, just a 45 cal hole in the end I really like it. Great hog gun |

I used weaver see through rings so the irons are still useful for up close business. with the cheek pad on the stock its pretty comfortable to use either. |

I recently put an aluminum DNZ on my 336 XLR. Worked great with a Leupold 3X9-40.
40 something eyes make the 'irons or nothing' chant seem 'tarded. Now get off my grass! |

I have the Leupold scout scope on a Marlin 336. I have used this gun a lot and have killed close to 100 deer with it over the years. It has the XS mount. This set up is a joy in the field because you can carry the gun in your hand normally since the scope is forward. Also the weight of the scope out front makes the gun hang better. It gives you the ability to make fast up close shots but also gives you a little magnification and a cross hair for longer shots. It is OK out to about 200 yards if you can really see the target. Around here you probably can't see anything that far away.
The scout scope seems to be a love it/hate it thing with people. If you are cross eye dominant you can't use it. You give up some magnification but if you just trust the cross hair you will find that where ever it is your bullet hits there if you execute a good shot. You will need to have binos to evaluate deer since you can't do it through your scope. If you scout a Marlin you will probably like it and find it will do what you want it to within it's range. The 30-30 round is powerful enough for any deer and hammers hogs and varmints too.

I've been thinking of a tang-mounted peep sight for my Marlin 36RC (an old carbine), but I'm not sure the new Lyman #2 sights for the 336 would fit.

I put a red dot on one, but just used the receiver mounted weaver rail. Mounted it as far forward as I could. That setup was cold death under 125 yds.

Can I close my left eye? Yes. Just be aware that the field of view from a scout scope is limited relative to a traditional variable. Or you can shoot left handed like I do. :) |

Would take you up on it if I was closer to Memphis. I may just grab one of these weaver scout rails; the problem then is that I have to go buy a $200-$400 scope.

Like others have mentioned, it works for some people and not others. I put the XS scout mount on my Marlin 336 and a 2.75x scope. It works and is a good mount, but I just prefer the more conventional closer scope location, since I'm used to it from all my other rifles.
I like the light and compact weaver 1-3x scope on a conventional mount on these rifles.

No optics. THE MOUNT. Where are you getting $50 Marlins? Sign me up for a few. At the time, there was only one mount that needed gunsmithing to use. $350 Probably the Ashley Outdoors Ching Ring. It was an expensive proposition since it entailed turning down the barrel and refinishing (at least on a bolt gun). |

I have a nice old model 30A that has a weaver rail mounted on the receiver. It still sports the original 4X32 Marlin scope it came with and shoots nice, tight groups to this day.
 It's one of my "do not sell" guns.

I'm still pondering this.
I'm also considering getting on ebay and grabbing a 70's vintage redfield scope - maybe a 1.75-5 or 2-7 - and trying to go for the retro '70's look. Would be quite functional in the woods, too. |
