[QUOTE="theishkid, post: 1402561, member: 10380"] I have this older '80's model Marlin Glennfield 25 .22lr. I asked for a scope for my birthday. So just my luck I end up getting two scopes. I don't know which one to keep. I'm new to rifles and very new to scopes so please help me out. I received the Nikon Prostaff 4x32 Rimfire model, the one I asked for... As well as the Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50. I had asked for the 4x32 since this is going on a .22. But a family member got me the 3-9x50 because it was on sale for $135, usually $170 and thought it would be a lot nicer scope for the money. So in trying to find some rings for this thing today and explaining my situation to the fine folks at H&H and Outdoor America they both had the same opinion that the 3-9x50 is going to be overkill and that I should just put the 4x32 on and send the other one back. So that's my first question. Is the 3-9x50 overkill? Should I just mount the 4x32 and be done with it? I was told the 4x32 is pretty much matched to a .22 at around 50 yards while the 3-9x50 is matched to around 150 yards and I would have to do some compensating. My second question is in regards to the ring types and a couple of problems I am having. So this rifle has a mount that seems to have several names... 3/8 dovetail, 11mm grooved, and .22 Tip Off. This has been a real pain trying to find rings for this thing. I found a couple of different sets at Walmart tonight from Weaver, lower profile that the bolt handle hit the scope so I had to take those back, then I got a set of "see-thru" mounts which brought the scope up a lot higher which I don't know if I like or not. My problem here is that the scope doesn't seem to be able to go far enough back on the gun so that when I hold the gun naturally the field of view comes completely in the scope. Does that make sense? The grooved rail does not go all the way to the back so I can't mount the scope back far enough. I have to get out of the comfortable position I have always known in order to have a full picture in the scope. Do I have any options that might be able to fix this? Like a 3/8" dovetail to weaver-style adapter? Or do I just need to re-learn how to hold this gun for shooting with a scope? I know this is a long post but please help in any way you can.
