The Bushnell scope ruined this rifle's lines so I took
AkRay, you're gonna love that rifle. My Dad bought me one many years ago and it is still my go-to .22 when I need to plink something little bitty and far away. Mine had a mount but no scope, and I put a cheap .22 scope on it for a while, but like you it just didn't feel right to me. I got one of Marlin's folding semi-buckhorn rear sights to replace the stamped factory rear, and that's what it still wears.
I don't do horses much anymore, but the Mountie goes with me on my ATV a lot, in a Triple K leather scabbard.
