Just another data point. Soon I hope to put a more appropriate scope on my rifle but I'll probably go back on there with the Burris to shoot the Shamrock Shoot.

Should I anticipate any issues using the rail supplied by Marlin with the purchase of my rifle? My scope option is a 3-9x40 Tasco.

I don't know why I'm the only person reporting problems with the Marlin scope base.
I'm pretty sure that it would work fine with the smaller scopes normally found on a .22 lever rifle, but the scope I have mounted on mine is quite a bit larger than what most folks would consider normal. The big scope's weight and length offer more stress and leverage to the mount.
