    Nice! The Glenfield 60 was my first rifle which I bought in the 1982 timeframe.
    Many a squirrel & rabbit has been taken with it and the game taken taught me to be proficient in skinning & cooking them.
    Mine came with a scope that looks identical to yours.
    The original scope came off zero for me and had to be readjusted fairly often.
    Adjusting the elevation threw off the windage and vice-versa on that scope.
    I ultimately replaced the original scope with an inexpensive Bushnell 10-22 and it sits on the rifle today.
    It's a very accurate rifle relative to its cost.
    Beware of the heavier .22 loads like CCI stingers- they can crack the buffer - ask me how I know LOL.
    I also added a sling to mine.
    Have fun!

    Dang, it even has some tiger striping under the muddy finish Marlin put on it back in the day. Some citrus strip and True Oil will turn it into something amazing.

    This was a mutt that I picked up from a pawn shop, Glennfield 75 dressed up as a M1 carbine and refinished. Great little shooter but the trigger mechanism gums up quickly and is a PITA to clean.
