Sighting
Your rifle has been sighted-in and test-
fired at the factory. However, due to indi-
vidual sighting characteristics, sighting
should be range verified.
Rear Sight Adjustment Rule
To make corrections, always remember
to move the rear sight in the direction in
which you wish to move the center of the
group. That is, if you are shooting low,
raise the rear sight. If you are shooting to
the right, move the rear sight to the left.
For Models Equipped With Elevator
Adjustable Open Rear Sights
Horizontal Correction (Windage)
Windage adjustments to the rear sight
can be made by gently tapping the dove-
tail portion of the rear sight in the
desired direction.
To move the point of impact to the left,
move the rear sight base to the left. To
move the point of impact to the right,
move the rear sight base to the right.
Vertical Correction (Elevation)
To raise the point of impact, raise the
rear sight. To lower the point of impact,
lower the rear sight. The sight can be
raised and lowered by moving the
stepped elevator forward and back with
your thumb.
For Models Equipped With
Screw-Adjustable Rear Sights
Horizontal Correction (Windage)
To move the point of impact to the left or
right, loosen the leaf binding screw until
you can move the leaf manually. Move
the leaf in the appropriate direction,
retighten the screw and fire again.
Continue this process until your shots
are horizontally zeroed-in.
Vertical Correction (Elevation)
To raise the rear sight (if you are shoot-
ing low) turn the elevation adjustment
screw clockwise. To lower the rear sight
(if you are shooting high) turn the eleva-
tion adjustment screw counterclockwise.
Continue adjusting and firing until your
shots are vertically zeroed-in.
Scope Mounting
Your rifle is drilled and tapped for scope
mounts. They are made by Tasco, Weaver
and others, and are available through your
local gun dealer. You may also order
directly from Marlin Gun Service. Call
1-800-544-8892 for more information.
• WARNING: Improper mounting or use of a
scope may result in facial injury. Always
allow sufficient space between the scope
and eye to avoid contact from recoil. Be
sure to follow the scope manufacturer’s
instructions for correct mounting and use.
Periodically check the scope to ensure it
has not moved during use.
How to Clean Your Rifle
• WARNING: Never attempt to wipe down
or clean a loaded firearm.
Caution: Before using any solvent or other
gun cleaning product, read the label care-
fully to be sure it will not damage either the
finish, or any parts of this firearm.
NOTE for stainless steel models:
Although stainless steel is corrosion-resis-
tant, it can rust. If the rifle gets wet, dirty,
or is subject to excessive handling, wipe
down metal parts with oil or rust-inhibitor.
Minor scratches can be “buffed out” of
stainless steel with a “Scotch-Brite
