Depends.........
The rifle is actually quite capable. I've shot .35" 5-shot groups at 50yds . . . .with an old steel-tube Weaver 22 scope and CCI mini-mags.
But an 18" long scope would look stupid on a Marlin 39.
I want to get get the best performance I can out of the old rifle, but it needs to be somewhat compatible with the platform.
BTW - Love that Ruger.
