I have a 336 Marlin SC waffle top in 35 REM that has a receiver site that is getting tougher to shoot due to aging eyes. I have no interest in drilling any holes.
Was wondering if anyone knows of some form of scope mount that could possibly be installed without drilling holes. I know…grasping at straws.
 
If it is a waffle top it is prob of the vintage that the tang is already drilled and it is an easy task to manuf an aluminum scope base to mount a usable mini or red dot scope...it just takes a bit of "out of the box " ingenuity to fashion a workable mount...when our eyes fail us "pretty" isnt a concern but function sure is.
I use two pieces of alum angle bolted together to create a platform that a small length of Picatini will bolt to for a mount.
 
If it has the rear sight dovetail you can look for one of dovetail pic rail kits, shorten it and stick a red dot on it.

The tang isn’t drilled.
The only factory holes are on the side of the receiver where the Lyman receiver site is mounted.
May have to bite the bullet and sell/trade the rifle but it’s something I truly do not want to do.
