I have one, the accuracy is incredible, 1" groups at 100yds! The Skinner sight is great, and it replaces either scope base, I switch back and forth with little change in zero.
THE NEW CHIAPPA .45-70 IS VERY NICE , I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS RIFLE
Why not put a full length mag tube on it to get another round or so capacity. That's one problem with the Marlin. Not all states are limited to the 4 rounds. It should also have a back-up rear sight installed instead of optics only. Cooper specifired a sight back-up for the scope in case of damage and the scope had to be removed. The Marlin Guide Gun has a foward mounted buckhorn ahead of the scout scope. Maybe there should be some sort of flip up peep.
