I use a Marlin 25n with a cheap little Tasco Pronghorn. Not sure on the size of the scope.

Check the end of your barrel bore for snags or burrs.There is something wrong with the end of the bore to shoot foot low at 20 yrds.Take a real fine file and clean the end up a bit. The burr would be on the top.

i thought about fileing down the front sight since it wont go any lower. my dad said that would help.
