XS Scout Scope Mount Base ?
« on: June 11, 2004, 06:17:29 PM »
I am thinking about putting a XS scout scope mount base on my Marlin 1894FG.  I have never seen one locally and would need to order it.  My concern is whether the mount contacts the barrel between the dovetail and the front scope mount screws.  I would think that if it did it would damage the blueing on the barrel.  This concerns me in case I ever want to take it back off.  Is anyone using one of these and can give me some info.

Thanks.

Bullseye - I've got the XS scope mounts on my 1895G and it mounts using the front scope base holes and the dovetail for the rear sight. I don't believe that it will damage the bluing, at least I haven't noticed it so far. I'm very happy with my setup. Good luck... CEJ

Bullseye.I put The mount on to stay but have not noticed any type of damage to the bluing.If your looking to take it off maybe try another type of mount.Just a thought.Good Luck
