Recently picked up a Marlin 75C (carbine sibling to the Marlin 60) for $59 at a pawnshop. Currently ferrous parts are soaking in WD40, but looks pretty sound overall.
I like this little rifle, but the comb is uncomfortably high for iron sights. Am I built weird, or did Marlin just assume that most folks would scope them?
I'd like to put a compact scope on it, just for fun and plinking, and want something that would be historically correct for a slightly beat little Marlin.
Any suggestions on a plinker scope that is:
a) semi-decent quality
b) reasonably affordable (hopefully cheaper than the rifle)
c) easily mounts to the little ridges on the Marlin receiver
d) compact
e) would commonly be seen on these rifles during the 1960s
Thanks for any info,
