I bought an old Marlin 336sc the other day from a guy I work with. I don't know much about old marlins but did some reading about them and found that this one is a 1950 "waffle top". I also learned that they weren,t drilled and tapped for scope bases until about 55-56'. So somebody along the way had drilled and tapped this one, I'm sure hurting its value. I got the gun really cheap though and it is in really good shape. What I was thinking about doing was putting a old Weaver or Redfield scope on it. I don't have any scopes on any of my other lever guns but I thought this might be a cool winter project. Where would any of you guys look for an older scope like this and what would you put on it. I never thought scopes belonged on lever guns but I'm going to give it a try on this one. Oh by the way it's chambered in 30-30.
