I've seen it done but I like a heavier duplex. I think the glass is just as good from handling those exact scopes myself. There is no reason to change the parallax at our ranges either.
Leupold rimfire scope on 336
I am thinking of putting a Vx-1 2-7x28 rimfire scope on my 336. It has the same dimensions as the vx-II 2-7x28 ultralight......minus better glass and click adjustments.....for about $100 less. For 10 bucks, you can order a rimfire scope and change the parallax adjustment from 50 to 100 yards.
I think the profile of this scope would look really nice on a 336...you could mount it nice and low. Anyone see any downside with the idea? I am going to use the rifle for treestand deer hunting.
My other ideas are are the vx-1 1-4x20 shotgun scope (I'm not crazy about the heavy duplex reticle and might would like more magnification than 4x) and the Redfield 2-7x33 (really like the scope but the rimfire scope is smaller and lighter).

The Leupold 2X7 compact is the same deminsions as the Rimfire. I have the 2X7 on one of my Marlins. I like it. You don't have to mess with changing the parallex either.
I think the Leupold rimfires are adjusted to 75 yards. I think.

The rimfire scopes are also designed for a different type of shock than the center fire scopes, but it's a Loopy and their guarantee is lifetime no matter what....
I called Leupold a while back about the rimfire/air rifles scopes being built stronger. It is a myth. All thier scopes are made the same way.
So put that idea to rest. All thier scopes can handle any recoil out thiere.

They told me the same.
I have a 366ss 30-30 with a simmons 22mag insilver 4x 28. works fine and is proportional to rifle. Have put many hundres of rounds through it and it holds zero .
Put it on a .416 Remington Ultra mag, shoot it 100 times, and if it still works, put it on the 336.
