Marlin 20 Looking for advice

Im not familiar with the Marlin model 20 but somebody will chime in soon.

Welcome to the forum baron

Welcome to the Marlin Firearms Forum Bluebaron !!

The Marlin Model 20, also known as the Marlin Glenfield Model 20, is a bolt action rifle chambered in .22 long rifle.

It was in production from 1960 to 1966.

A nice variable 3x9 power scope will enable you to plink and hunt small game...all the major manufacturers make specific optics for 22's...

Here's a few choices from Optics Planet...good people to deal with !

Thank you very much for the info sir! So do these weapons already have drill/mount points for the optics, or are those something I need to drill and tap/install myself?

Thanks again.

The Marlin 20 has adjustable open rear, ramp front sights with a receiver that is grooved for a scope mount.

Ive never mounted a scope on any rifle before. I have only mounted optics onto rail systems already installed. The opticsworld page that you guys showed me has a lot of options. Do I need to buy anything besides the scope in order to install it onto the rifle?

Also, does anyone have a link to a good guide to magnification optics. How to choose?

Thanks again!
