What type of scope mount is best for a Marlin 336?

Picatinny rails are ideal for modern optics. Dovetail mounts are great for traditional scopes and hunting. Scout rails with ghost ring sights provide the best of both worlds.

Can I install a scope mount on my Marlin 336 myself?

Yes. If your Marlin 336 is drilled and tapped, you can install most scope mounts at home with basic tools in under 30 minutes.

Are ghost ring sights compatible with scope mounts?

Yes. Some scout-style rails like those from XS Sights integrate ghost ring sights directly with the mount for dual-use capability.
