Yeah I checked a while back and thought it might be $350 or $450. Sounds like $450. I know for a fact it wasn't over $500. Thanks the ballpark for the W and A models helped me remember.
Jkingrph, welcome. I saw your post over on the 39A Club and added your name to the roster there.I just ran across this "club" and one for the 39-a . How does one sign up or is it a post as you wish affair?
I am shooting way high and the sight is bottomed out!! This normally occurs with shooters who have used regular aperture sights before but not Ghost Ring style sights. Most aperture sights have disc in them with a small sight hole through it. The hole is so small that sometimes target shooters will fire on the wrong target because they can see only the bull’s-eye of the target. A Ghost Ring Aperture gives you a wide field of view. You will see all the front sight, some of the ramp or barrel and a whole lot more. This confounds some shooters who try to see just the blade of the front sight. Doing this sets the front sight low in the aperture and then when they place the tip of the front sight on target it causes the bullet impact to be way high. Once again concentrate on the tip of the front sight and don’t worry about what else you see in the aperture unless it is the eight point buck standing just to the left of the six point you are aiming at!
Found a 336C for $249.00 yesterday, 95% like new, in 30-30 should I go buy it now?
Oh, you're gonna like it here.To me, the Marlin 336 is the best balanced, smoothest operating, best looking leveraction ever made.
Oh, now there's one I've not heard of. Marauder? Details? Links? Images?...my 336 Marauder 35...
OK, but wait. I'm holding my unloaded 336 now. (Well, a second ago; had to put it down to type this.)A Ghost Ring Aperture gives you a wide field of view.

Dave, I understand. That all makes sense.When aiming your 336, look through the rear aperture. Don't consciously try to center the front sight in it, your eye will do that naturally. Focus on the front sight. Even with the target blurry you'll be able to put the front sight where it needs to be. Do this consistently and you'll be able to shoot tight groups.
Thanks for the thought.Just trying to figure a way to make your life a little easier.
LOL.One of my dawgs has the same issue with his tongue... I think it's a nervous condition, but he has to lay that big sloppy thing on every freakin' thing.
But I confess - and maybe I'm being dense here - I'm still confused about how to get this elevation thing solved. I still don't understand why I'm hitting so high at 50 yds.
Somehow, I've got to get that barrel down, and that means adjusting that rear sight so that when my eye naturallys center the front sight in it, I'm on target. That's the part I'm missing.
