Anyone ever used a daisy red dot sight on a Marlin mod. 60?

I was just wondering if I could use a red dot sight on my marlin m60. I was thinking of adding one to my rifle, but i wasn't sure if it would be worth the money. I did have one on a pellet gun when I was a kid and it worked pretty well. So how would it fair on a 22 cal rifle?

i had a crossman red dot on a mod 60 for a while. it worked great when i sighted it in and when i shot it the first few times but then i let it sit a while and it lost its zero dont know if the battery was going bad or what but i put the scope back on it after that

I bought one for my Romanian bolt action, but the rail was too thin. It went onto my model 60 where it currently resides. The only thing that I don't really care for is the dot is shaped funny. It's accurate enough for target/ varmit

Hmm, thanks for the input. I guess I can try it then.

The selection of sights and scopes for a Model 60 is limited because of the dovetail mount. You can buy BSA red dot scopes for around $30 but they're made for Picatinny or Weaver mounts.

If you really want to use one of those you can get an adapter.

i've been using the daisy red dot sight for quite some time, but not
on a marlin M60. mine is on a nylon 66. works like a charm. my shooting buddy had a daisy red dot on his 10-22 for a time but took it off due to his forgetting to turn off the sight after range fire, thereby depleting the battery.

i currently have an el cheapo crossman scope on my henry .22. .22lr isnt going to break it, and, what the heck, it actually is the best scope i own right now (long story, for a different day). So i dont see the problem with putting a red dot on a marlin, but thats just my point of view
