Do you have an offset for the hammer? I've got the same gun coming and am wondering if there's room to get your thumb under the scope?

Nice, congrats!! Decide on a scope yet?
I wish I could leave mine unscoped but these old eye won't allow it. Have you managed to find ammo?
Don't do it. Cruise the used racks, here and pawn shops and pick up a compact Burris or Leupold 2-7 preferably, or second choice 3-9 and be done with it. That is what I did with my last old Marlin, in fact I picked it up here. It is a match made in heaven. Our eyes are LONG past prime time shooting morning and evening.Haven't really decided yet. I have a couple of favorite spots where I would be shooting less than 60 yards so I may leave it unscoped!!
That is, until a big one comes thru right at dark, then I'll regret my decision!!
2-7’s and .44’s go together like fat kids and cakeDon't do it.

Keeping it simple is nice, but you have to figure in practical. Hunting with a weapon at least for me that handicaps me from shots at prime time all the time has that red flag waving in the back of my mind. That either makes me leave it at home or not enjoy using it. But that is just me.Yeah, I have a boxful of used scopes I’ve taken off other guns plus I may remove a scope from other rifles I never use!!!
I’ll look thru them. One that jumps out in memory is a fixed 4x Redfield Widefield!!
I still like the idea of keeping it simple tho!
