Well I just went out today and picked up a Marlin 795 to keep my Marlin Model 60 company. I went the scope route with the vintage 22" 18rd Model 60, and got an AO adjustable 3-12x40. Definitely WAY overkill but it works as at the range, and I can thread a needle with it.
For my 795 I wanted to build something that wasn't so heavy and great for plinking offhand as opposed to benched. I was thinking RDS Any ideas of what would be doable for an RDS on a .22, or do you think I should skip it and just go for a simple rimfire 4x32 or lower magnification scope? Is there any decent 3/8 dovetail RDS or do I need to get a picatinny/weaver adapter?
Unrelated question: I had a old timer tell me that he put electric tape on the vice of his dovetail scope rings because he said it helps prevent scope slipping when tightened down like a makeshift friction tape. Any idea if this is true
