That looks GREAT Fotis. Really nice set up on that rifle. I think mine will look similar to yours when I am through with it..

Pat, my rail is also held in by the rear sight dovetail slot. The XS mount is very solid.

And here I went and turned down a true Marlin Guide Gun, looking new, for $475. Even had it in my hand.

Sometimes good sense isn't as good as the wife thinks it is....

:lol:

I went out today and shot the Guide Rifle and my 444.. The 444 is a Marlin barrel, but a Rem receiver I think. While the action is much rougher than my Guide Rifle, it shoots really well, has nice wood on it and well, it shoots!

The stock is a little too proud meeting up to the metal, but overall, it isn't horrible. I would beat the bush to find a proper Marlin made rifle though. I think I got lucky with this one. It needs to be cycled about 1000 times to really work in, but it should be okay.

Thinking it'll get a Skinner Peep on it soon, but the iron's seem to shoot okay, for now. My Marlin Made 1895G is just such a better rifle though. Fit, finish and accuracy is very good, for what that rifle cost me.

I got lucky all my rifles are Marlins. In fact my 444 is a Microgroove.
