Raquettedacker:
Wow that looks awesome Doug.   Wish you lots of luck with it.....

LoneWolf:

Thanks Dom. I'm going to hit the range this week to make sure the sights are still on and get a feel for it.
Only about a month left until opening day rifle !  :)

Buckwild:
Doug, That looks nice ! I also prefer open sites. In the year 2000 I received my Dad’s 1959 Marlin 336 that had a scope. I had a 8 pt Buck come in within 20  yards and I never found him in the scope and he ran off. Ever since that horrible experience I installed the Williams peep site with the front red optic. It has been 2 years hunting with it and I have shot 4 pt Buck each year. Good luck with yours this year.

LoneWolf:

Thanks. I too had removed my sights and installed an optic over the summer. After doing a dry run of just walking around in the woods I found it much harder to acquire a target. Maybe it's just me.
Plus the base, rings and scope were heavier and I saw no advantage in the woods.

1959 Marlin 336 .. that's a keeper ! Post a picture if you get time.

The bottom gun is the 1959 Marlin
