Marlin 336 Texan project Part ll (pics)

Hello guys. A few weeks ago my good friend Mark started a thread on a project gun that he found in a pawn shop and refinished for me. I promised you guys a few pics when he was finished and all the test firing was done. She is a real sweet shooter and loves Winchester 150gr PP's. This ammo will cloverleaf at 50yds. I added the Uncle Mike sling studs and sling last night. The scope is an older Simmons Pro Diamond 1.5-5x20 that is bright and clear. She looks good on the rifle. The pattern on the wood is a little crazy, but I like the two tone look. It is only on one side though.
I want to publically thank Mark again for the nice work he did. She is now ready for some Florida whitetail deer and maybe a hog or two.

Nice set up, have you thought about a XS Scout mount to get the scope a bit farther forward?
Sort of like this it make the gun easier to mount fast.

The scope as it sits allows for a perfect cheek weld and the reticle appears as soon as I shoulder the weapon. The eye relief would not allow it to sit any more forward and still work as it should.
It is perfect where it sits.

Glad you're liking the rifle.
