New guy here with a question I'm hoping someone can answer for me.
I have a Marlin 336CS in .35 Remington that I've owned for almost a year now. It is currently wearing a Williams FP peep with a fiber optic front sight. I installed a WWG Bear Proof ejector and smoothed up the action a few months ago. It shoots great with Remington Core Lokt 200gr. I would really like to add a few more things to this rifle, including a scout mount.
My question pertains to some dimensions of the XS Scout Mount. I have been offered this mount with all the hardware for a pretty cheap price. The problem is this mount came off of a Marlin 1894. According to what I have seen the 336 and 1894 mount do not interchange.
I do not have the mount yet as I wanted to ask if I could make it work first. Just by guessing I am assuming that the 2 rear holes that screw into the receiver are going to be slightly different. Does anyone have an XS mount for both the 336 and 1894 that they can compare side by side for me? Is it possible for me to modify this mount by drilling and tapping some new holes? Does the front stud hole line up in the rear sight dovetail?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
