Rimfires Micro-Groove in the early 1950's, Centerfires were added in the mid 1950's.  The V prefix would be Aug 1961 through 1962.

I have a 36G (64-65), it's the cheaper Marlin/Glenfield of your 336, it has the 20" barrel 2/3 magizne with beech wood.  Those ol Marlins with the walnut stock had awsome wood.  It should be a good shooter.
