Low Talley Rings on a 336

[SilentStalker]

Hi all,

I just purchased a VX-2 3X9X40 and was wondering if the Low Talley Rings would work on a 336. There are conflicting answers online and I do not wish to take the iron off. Thanks all in advance!

I would say yes.

Thanks BnB, I'll let you know how I make out

Good deal. I have low talley's on a rifle that originally had a 3x9 40 mm scope and clearance was fine. It depends on the scope design and ER also. U may need to tweak the mounting a bit.

Mediums worked. Had to adjust the rear elevator and flip the leaf down, but good to go. I'd imagine if you took the rear off, low would work. No issue with front sight. Good luck all

I like less scope on a lever and then low rings work fine.  A 2-7x33mm would've been my choice.  My Marlin 336 .35 Rem has a straight 2x Leupold with the simple 20mm objective and I have never needed more power when hunting with it.

I love you, Man....<<grin>>...

I can never remember a hunting situation when  I needed more power, but I can recall several times when LESS magnification and a wider FOV would have been an advantage...

AND, I have only used a 3x9  variable on a few hunts....My BIG scopes are 2 x7 variables...Much of my hunting over the last 50 years has been with fixed 1.5x, 2.5 x, 4x and 6 X scopes, with a fair amount of hunting with 2x7 variables, which are set of 4x or lower most of the time..  These are all long range bolt action rifles also...I'd slash my wrists before I'd mount a 3x9x 40 variable on a lever action woods rifle...No offense to anyone, because I will readily admit to being an opinionated old fart...

The other thing you have to worry about with lows is the hammer.

I had a 2-7 in low DNZ mount and didn't like it and that was a 28mm obj.

If my eyes didn't give me fits these days, all of my lever guns would only have iron sights.  The scope, even the 2X, throws off the balance and handling and makes the rifle feel awkward to me.  But I need it to focus on the target.
