It is a Western Field Made by Marlin..Model number EMN-175

if its the marlin 55 version i would maybe try some federal truball low recoil slugs and this scope mount should work . http://www.wescooutfitters.com/p-304...by-weaver.aspx

i think you need to mount this base first then the side mount with the rings will screw into the side mount plate but check with a gunsmith. http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd....rSuperSKU=&MC=

That is very helpful info, I saved those sites in my favs. Also I went through Midway Ammoand bought a box of Federal True Ball hollow points product # 335976 and a box of Hornady 2 3/4 double-ought buckshot product# 439733, this is some serious ammo !!!, you gotta check these out.
Again thanks for your help.

Those two holes are for a venier type sight. Say, the excellant Lyman Micro caliper adjustable sight.
The holes are not for a scope mount base ect...
I have seen a mount that utilized those holes but cannot remember who makes it. You might try S&K Mounts

Or Peep# 2??

I think any one of those peeps would work quite well for those bast-ard grouse side-hilling away from me.
