Can I get a scope side mounted on the left side of a Marlin 336 lever gun with a reasonably low amount of hassle and cost?
Here's the reason for the need to side mount a scope. I am cross-dominant which means I shoot right-handed but sight with my left eye. Handgun shooting is not much problem but in order to get my left eye to see through a top mounted scope I have to crane my neck over and lay my cheek on the stock.
I want to buy a 30-30 lever action rifle for hunting. Mossberg makes the 464 lever gun which is top eject. As such it must have a side mounted scope. A Marlin 336 lever gun has a better reputation though.
What do ya think? Can a scope be left side mounted on any lever action rifle particularly a Marlin 336?
Thanks.
