I have this old rifle, no manual. Been sitting in my gun locker for a while and I want to start using it finally. It's a Marlin 336 RC .35 Rem. It's was a free hand me down, hasn't been used in a while obviously. It's in good condition mechanically, although the wood is well worn and there is surface splotches (oxidation?) on the metal. The ammo (Remington Core llock 200gr) that came with it looks good but must be old, the sticker price on all of them is $4.05 for a box of 20. It is drilled and tapped on the receiver, but I want to try it out with the iron sights.
My question is about adjusting the sight. It has a ramp on the rear sight. If I slide it back, the rear sight raises. Will that raise where it hits the target? Also, I'm not used to shooting more than 100 yds. Should I sight it in at 100 yds? Maybe I should try it at 50 to rough it in? Any suggestions...
