Have my 336 Dark 16" zeroed at 100m with a VX6 1-6. It is CDS so I may work up some loads for it for further but really I wouldn't shoot more than 150 - 170m with it I suppose.
@eamars has worked some loads up I think and may be able to provide some useful input.

I didn't get any of the smithing done but it's 16.5" the mag tube also shortened at the same time so only holds 5 rounds, the trigger also appears to have been fettled.
I actually decided against buying one till after lock down but this one fell in to my lap for a great price.....it's a 336 stainless wish it had a big loop.
It's sitting in Hamilton until level 2 anyway so I have plenty of time to think about things.
