Leapers Red/Green Dot sight and UTC Picatinny Rail

[Michigan Joe]

Hello everyone.  A few weeks ago, we were at Cabela's in Dundee, Michigan, and I picked up a used older Marlin 60 that had been made for Wards. While shooting it, I found that the old eyes were going and I could not focus on the front sight. Then, I learned about Red Dot scopes, bought my Remington 597 VTR and was on my way to full scale Tactical .22 addiction.

I still wanted to shoot the old Model 60 so I happened to be on Amazon and picked up a Picatinny rail attachment that fit on the scope grooves of the Model 60 and a Red and Green Dot sight by Leapers.  The sight looks exactly like the ones made by Truglo and others.  30mm inside diameter. 

However, this one cost only about $28.00 and the rail was $7.50.  I received them today, and everything went on perfectly. The rail is rock solid and so is the sight.  Inexpensive enough to put on even inexpensive guns.  I will attach some photos.

Now that's yanking the classic Marlin into the 21st century.

where did you purchase it? and can you let us know how it performs in the field? i am interested in a red dot site, but good ones are usually quite expensive so if this works its getting put on asap. thanks

The rail and sight worked perfectly when I shot the Marlin. Amazon has several different red dot sights. That is also where I got the rail from.

The sight is raised up, but I did not notice it. It was a lot of fun to shoot.
