Is this drilled and taped for a scope mount or is it just iron sights? I would like to put a Simmons scope on it if possible.

OMG I know this answer. It is tapped and drilled for a scope.

Derek, The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts of your choice. I would recommend see through rings from a company like KWIK-SITE like these at BUDs:--------https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/27004/kwik-site+mount+for+marlin+336%2f444%2f45-70+%26+45%2f922m

Derek, the Receiver is a Solid Top Receiver Tapped For Scope Mount with Side Ejection. DNZ makes an excellent One Piece Marlin Guide Gun Scope Mount : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/58779/dnz+products+1%22+high+matte+black+base%2frings%2fmarlin+model+189

This is, in fact, drilled and tapped for an object of your choice. It is not just iron sights. A Simmons should work just fine with this firearm.

I’m new to this type of rifle and have a question. I’ve read to avoid the Remington’s version of this product. Reviews state that quality is not the same. I need to know who is the manufacturer of this rifle. Also, need your opinion on the 45-70. Thanks in advance.

Vincent, Marlin the claim to fame on the 1895 Guide Gun. : https://www.marlinfirearms.com/lever-action/model-1895-big-bore/model-1895g

Vincent, This firearm is made by Marlin Firearms. Bud's Item Number: 41185 MFG: Marlin Firearms

That is the question. I don't know and haven't tried to ask Buds what Marlins their selling right, i.e. what year, how old etc. Things have improved I hear, but??? I am tipping toward a JM or even a Winchester (about the same $ as a JM. Thoughts anyone??

The marlins from 2017 and newer have been reported very good quality. The JM will cost more, but it’s a toss up

Hi Jack, my opinion too would be to get the JM. I put great stock in past performance of a manufacturer as well as current performance of their products and JM would be the most heavily overall rated in my book.

Hi Brian, this Marlin Model 1895G rifle has richly blued steel components while the Walnut stock features Mar-Shield protection.

This is the rifle I use to hunt wild pigs with. I have bagged 10 with it and with the right load and scope it is easy to use in the brush where the pigs hang out. I have had no problems with it and I find that it moves quickly and is accurate. We all know how dangerous pig hunting can be and I feel very comfortable with my Marlin 45-70 Scout in the brush. Highly recommend this rifle with the 300 grain hollow point ammo.

the Marlin 45-70 is a very powerful round and in carbine form it is very accurate.

After receiving this rifle, I am initially well pleased with it. The fit and finish are very nice. I haven't had an opportunity to shoot it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. From what I can tell so far, I would recommend this product.
