Bullseye replacements gone for good?

Does anybody know where I can find a replacement bullseye for my newly acquired 336? I have looked all over the internet and everywhere says that they are discontinued. Are they gone for good with Rugar taking over Marlin?

I just took ownership of my late grandfathers 336 in the 35 caliber flavor with a serial number dating it to 1966. It was in pretty rough shape with some barrel rust and general neglect so I spent the last few evening cleaning it up. The rifle cleaned up surprising great but is missing the bullseye, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. It is the last piece of the puzzle and my OCD is driving my crazy that it is missing.

Just a tip on installing a bullseye Steve0 (well maybe two) I've had real good luck placing the bullseye in the freezer for a good while before installing it. It shrinks it down a bit so it goes in easier. AND, where an original has fallen out on mine, I cut the replacement in half (putting the cut edge down of course) and still had half of one for another replacement.

Where I had a someone place a sling mount in my bullseye, it was deeper and took more of the bullseye to fill the hole. Tape over the stock around the hole to do any shaping/sanding of the bullseye. They come flat across the top, and most stocks have a radius there you'll want to match. Okay, I snuck in a third tip for good measure.

Post up a photo of that 35 when you can, we love looking at other rifles!

I have probably a dozen of them left

If somebody could help me out here, I apparently don't have permissions to open up the link to access Dawei's post for bullseyes either.

Can somebody help me out with this?

I'm guessing I need more meaningful posts.

Thanks in advance!
