RE: Scope base and rings - Marlin 1895
On my 1895G in .45-70, I mounted Simmons Deerfield 4X scope I got on Ebay usinng a Weaver base and low Weaver rings. This scope is short and looks good on this rifle. A 'normal' sized scope just looks too long for the short barrel. But that's just my opinion. The Weaver mounting system is plenty strong enough. And a compact scope either in a fixed power or low end variable like 1.5 - 4X is perfect.

I think mine are the weaver bases with a Zeiss scope. I'm not sure the first ones they tried wouldn't work and the store recommended a different base and it works out great. I can check with my buddy to see what bases are on it because I keep it at his house.
