Marlin lever action question
I recently acquired a Marlin Model 30 AW. I plan to put a scope on it but I'm wondering will a Marlin 336 base fit it? It looks identical to a 336 but I wanted to know of anybody on here knew. Thanks

Yes the 30AW is the same gun as a 336, it's just a cheaper/baseline model with fewer bells & whistles (cheaper stocks being the main diff) but the chassis are identical.

Thank yall. Also what's y'all's opinion on the see thru style mounts? All my other centerfire rifles and my 17 HMR have the DNZ game reaper mounts and I love them but thought about tryin see thru mounts on this 30-30.

Yep, see through mounts put a scope way too high to get a proper cheek weld most of the time and there is usually no need to go to the iron sight anyway. The same thing happens when guys go to these big 50mm objective lenses on scopes when a good 40mm is all that's needed.
