Marlin 336 sight adjustment. need help
#13
Which site moves is irrelevant. Just drift it with a brass punch or wooden dowel, or build one of the screw presses I mentioned earlier and be done with it.
8" at 25yrds might be a lot bigger issue than just adjusting your sites. 8" at 25yrds vs a 20" sight radius = ~1/6" of drift needed on the sight (if you have a micrometer caliper, use that to determine how far you drift it, especially if you use a punch and hammer).

just talked with Marlin and they say the only site that can be adjusted on the 336 is the front site. It looks like they have put all different kinds of sites on this gun over the years. apparently my front sight is the only sight that can move.

Incorrect, according to all 336's I have seen. Check out the diagrams at the link below. If your gun has parts 40 and 41, and the barrel has a dovetail slot for the rear sight, the rear is adjustable. Sliding part 41 forward and back will change the POI elevation. Sliding part 40 left to right will change the left to right POI.
If your gun does not have these parts, and the dovetail slot, the sight should still be adjustable for elevation.
