Hello guys. I don't want to kick a hornets nest or revisit old issues but I have several Marlins and with older and aging eyes, have decided to scope them. From earlier days with the military and shooting clubs I always like a good cheek weld to the stock to minimize the jump. I can't seem to scope my 336 or 1895 with a scope. Am I missing something? Am I the only one who is bothered by this? I have tried a plastic riser and have looked at some expensive stock alternatives. But surely there must be an easier way I just haven't discovered. Thanks in advance.
Here are a few ideas: (Hope this is what you were asking about.) http://www.accu-riser.com/categories/Accu%252dRiser-Cheek-Pads-and-Comb-Raisers/ http://www.cabelas.com/product/Triple-K-Leather-Cheek-Pad/706669.uts?WT.tsrc=CRR&WT.mc_id=crrdtfd http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...rds=raised cheek pads for marlin lever action
Welcome to the Marlin Forum. Glad to have you with us. hombre done good. Nothing that I could add too.
Welcome. I didn't catch that you are new. Glad you found the forum. It is a great place with great people.
Welcome to the forum. I have scopes on three of my marlins, 4x on a 336C, 1-4.5x on my 444P and a 2.5x on my 1895G. I haven't had any problem with cheek weld on mine but I prefer smaller objective bell scopes and the lowest rings that will fit. However, my Dad had a K4 Weaver mounted on his 336SC with see thru rings and killed a lot of deer with it.
The only Marlin I have with a scope is a Levermatic in 30cal. Carbine. I have no problem with it. I have it on medium rings so it fits close to the barrel. My younger grandsons have killed several deer with it. I just plink with it! And welcome to the forum!
Thanks for the tips. I will look into some of the risers and report back. Aren't these the handiest and prettiest guns yet? Thanks again. Happy shooting
Welcome aboard, My eyes don`t work like they use to either..I tried skinner sights which are very good but still needed help past 50 yards, I went with a scope on both the 336s..get the scope close as possible to the barrel and you`ll have a good cheek weld
This isn't the easy way, but it does result in something nice, IMHO. from treebonecarving http://www.treebonecarving.com/uploads/2/4/1/8/24186299/4395929_orig.jpg http://www.treebonecarving.com/uploads/2/4/1/8/24186299/4395929_orig.jpg
All of my 336's are scoped with Leupold 2X7X33 VX 1's. They are mounted as low as I can get them and I have no problem getting a great cheek weld.
