New scope for the 60

[Sirex]

Got a new scope for my Marlin 60. It's a Simmons 22MAG 4x32. I haven't shot it, but looking thru it across the basement it looks great. Didn't want to spend a fortune on a scope and for the price the Simmons is a really nice plinking scope from what I can see. Next upgrade is a steel trigger guard and trigger.

Have you been able to find someone who makes a steel trigger guard for those?

I own 2 model 60's. Like the guns alot, but my biggest pet peeve with those is the plastic trigger guards.

Ive had luck with Simmons on my Marlin 25MN. I have a Simmons Wideview, with a larger bell diameter (cant recall the bell size offhand). It sorta like looking at a widescreen movie, and does an excellent job of magnifying light, when the sun is setting. That gun/scope combo is primarly a hunting & pest gun.

The model 60 is a real fun plinkster!

Nice. Fixed 4x is the way to go on a 60.

Forget about upgrading the plastic trigger guard and put all the money towards a better trigger assembly.

DIP makes a trigger guard that's aluminum.

They've also got some other neat accessories as well.

Yeah, that's where I ordered the stuff from, trigger and guard, silver.

I have the same scope on my arlin 981T. I have 0 complaints.

I've got three model 60's, and,.... Three Simmons "22 mags". Great scope for the money, nice and bright.

I will say, I really prefer the fixed version, the 3-9 just isn't as clear/user friendly.

I, too, have a Simmons 22Mag 3-9 scope. Mine is on a Mossberg 640KA Chuckster in .22 Mag. Going to purchase another one for my Ruger 10/22.

Great scope. I think it's pretty clear. Not as clear as the Nikon Buckmaster I had on my .270, but it's also 1/3 the cost as well.
