Marlin 336

heliman
I came across a 336 in 35 Rem. I paid $165 for it. It is a 1951 production rifle and shoots good. I decided to try some of the new Leverevolution ammo for Hornady. Problem I have is that with the rear sight on its lowest notch, it still shoots about 3" high at 100 yds. Probably going to get a willams peep sight for it. I guess I could try a different front blade too.[:)]

    I'm looking at a website
    that is selling a 30-30 with this
    description: RS; 23.5"; HALF MAG, GRYD RCVR.

    What does GRYD RCVR mean?
    Thanks

    You could also try some standard ammo. That might make up for some of that 3".

    Good deal on a great gun.

    I did shoot some handloads that came with the rifle amd they were right on at 100 yds. The rear sight was set on the middle notch. I think it must be the pointed bullet that changes the point of aim.

    Real good deal. Leverlution shoots MUCH flatter than standard ammo.

    see were it hits at 200 yards. Leverevolution is much flater ars11b said it may drop right in the bulls eye at 200 [:p][:p][:p]

    The Hornady website claims "3" high at 100=dead on at 200". Mine is 2" high at 100 and 2.5 low at 200. Works perfect for me but mine is scoped.

    I have a 336 in 30-30.

    I purposely sight it in 1" high at 100 yards and figure it to be just about dead on at 150 yards which is about the longest shot I will take with it at a deer.

    I will give it a try at 200! Thats probably as far as I would shoot anyway. I don't see the sights very well nowadays. I thought a peep might be better. Thanks for the hints![:)][:)]
