I took the scope off my 336 with the intention of installing a ghost ring sight. eye sight could be a problem but the scope on a 30-30 just wasn't doing it for me. Most shots were 50 yds or closer. I would go with a 3x9 though just incase you need the extra magafiction for something. good luck

IMO the Prostaff is a good solid scope. However, I think the Burris FFII has a lot better glass for not much more and it's the way I'd go.
What's your price range? I'm sure we could make some recommendations if we knew your price range.

Mine came (used) with a Bushnell 4x Sportview WP on it. I figured that I'd give it a chance...... and it works perfectly on that rifle. I haven't had to zero it in more than once
(I hope I didn't just jinx myself- we're going up to shoot next wknd lol..)

Your eyes
What's the best scope for your eyes. Not my eyes; a buddies eyes; your eyes. Or better yet, what scope for less money will meet your needs.
I'd go to a big box store and test out the scopes available for sighting, with your eyes, on a darkened area, as many yards away as possible.
When I was young, I went one year with open sites. The next year a 4X scope. When older, went to a 3X9 scope. The higher power wasn't for shooting, it was for telling how many points the rack was.
For a Marlin 336 I'd look for a shorter scope.
