weight
« on: December 08, 2010, 08:21:53 AM »
Are there any synthetic stocks and forends availble that would reduce the weight of my 336.

I want to mount a scope on it and still stay under 7 1/2 lbs.

FWIW, a wood-stocked Marlin 336 can stay under 7.5lbs, scoped, by using lightweight Weaver rings & bases, AND a lightweight scope - several of which weigh in around 1/2lb, like this 4x
