Hello, I just purchased a Marlin 20. I havent received it yet. I was curious if any of you could educate me as to what options I have for optics? Thanks!
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 ! http://www.opticsplanet.com/s/22+rifle+scopes/new~1_pqr~sniper+scopes?_s_ref=pm15O7cu&_s_mt=p&kw=scopes%2022&creative=863580035?_s_ref=pm15O7cu&ef_id=UJliEAAAUXe0qV-W:20121106191632:s
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!
