I posted several messages regarding mounts and now own 3 types of mounts for this rifle, and don't own the mount I think I really would like have for this rifle.

I like the Marlins better, and are really a better rifle for the type of big game hunting I've done so far. Last animal I took was a Black bear over bait with a 7mm Rem Mag, Browning BAR. 20 yards. Bow hunting distance. The Bar can shoot 1 MOA a 200 yards, the 45-70 took a bear too last season, it was used by a family freind. Maybe someday I can take the 300RUM out and do some longrange hunting. Right now the 300RUM will be a plinker \ target rifle. The Nikon will go on it shortly.</p></blockquote><p></p>
