Alot of you have some good insight to what is out there in the market. I remember seeing it in ad or something about a scope for the Marlin 1895GS stainless lever rifle short barrel. It was designed with the new bullets in mind to assist accuracy out to 200 yards. Anyone have one or know what I might have seen. Also looking for versatility, probably and over the sights mount. Also one last thing, the fold down sights attached to gun suck in my thoughts, what type of open sights are better to utilize on the short brush gun? Maybe I wouldn't even get a scope then. Just need something that is durable and won't move once affixed. Thanks Mike
