I've been using my dad's old Marlin Golden 39A Mountie with a Tasco 4x scope in Iron-Sighter rings. I ditched that crappy setup wanting to use iron sights since it's my fast-pointing, walking hunting rifle and I plan on getting a scoped 17 HMR in the future. The problem was, even at the highest notch on the rear sight, it would still shoot high. I took your advice and ordered a Weaver #90 rail for the 39A and mounted a Vortex Sparc on top. I know it seems wrong and nontraditional, but I'm excited to sight it in and shoot some squirrels and rabbits!
