Description
The Talley 252336P is a two-piece Picatinny base built for folks who want to put glass or a red dot on their Marlin lever gun without fuss. It clamps onto the factory drilled and tapped receiver holes, so there's no gunsmithing, no drilling, and no bedding required. Talley cuts these from high-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy and finishes them with a hard-coat anodizing rated to 65 Rockwell, which is the same recipe they've used to earn their reputation over four-plus decades in the mounting business.
What the Talley 252336P Bolts Onto
This base covers a surprising range of lever guns. It fits the classic Marlin 336, 1894, and 1895 receivers, and Talley extended the fitment to cover the Henry H009, H010, and H027, the Henry Homesteader H024, and the Rossi R95. If you've got one of the newer Ruger-made Marlins or a Henry big-bore, this is a straightforward way to get modern optics on board while keeping the rifle's traditional lines intact thanks to the low profile.
Machined to Picatinny Spec
Every slot is cut to MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny dimensions, so any standard Picatinny or Weaver-style ring, red dot, or scope mount drops right in. That gives you real flexibility on ring height and eye relief since you can slide your rings fore and aft to dial in the perfect cheek weld and sight picture. The two-piece design keeps weight down to right around an ounce, so you're not adding meaningful bulk to a rifle that's meant to be carried.
Getting the Talley Base Mounted
Installation is about as simple as it gets. The base attaches with the included 8-40 mounting screws using a Torx wrench, and a drop of blue Loctite on the receiver screws is a smart move to keep everything locked under heavy-recoiling magnum loads. Talley recommends checking your rifle maker's torque spec before you crank down, and never going stronger than Loctite Blue 242 on the threads. Do that and this base will hold zero shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rifles does the Talley 252336P base fit?
It's built for the Marlin 336, 1894, and 1895 lever-action family, and it also fits the Henry H009, H010, H027, the Henry Homesteader H024, and the Rossi R95. It mounts to the factory drilled and tapped holes on the receiver. Before ordering, it never hurts to confirm your specific receiver's hole pattern matches.
Does this Talley base come with mounting screws?
Yes, it ships with the 8-40 mounting screws and a Torx wrench needed to attach it to the receiver. You will still need separate rings or a mount for your optic since those aren't included. A drop of blue Loctite on the screws is a good idea to keep things tight under recoil.
Will standard scope rings and red dots work on this base?
They will. The 252336P is cut to MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny spec, so any standard Picatinny or Weaver-style rings, red dots, or scope mounts fit right on. The continuous slots let you slide your rings fore and aft to set eye relief and cheek weld.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the Talley 252336P?
No gunsmithing is required. The base bolts directly to the factory receiver holes, so it's a drop-in install with the included hardware and a Torx driver. Just check your rifle maker's torque recommendation and avoid over-tightening the receiver screws.
