Over the weekend I removed the medium height rings and put on the low rings. This is a winning combination for a Marlin 336 or similar Marlin lever action... scope height is perfect.

Weaver 63B aluminum base, plus Leupold Rifleman low-height aluminum rings, plus Leupold FX-II 2.5x20mm ultralight scope. 9.5 Oz total weight is added to the rifle, and it does not screw up the balance. The rifle comes up to the shoulder real nice.

I will try to get some pictures posted soon.
