Thanks scootrd!
 That would have been my first guess!
 I have one that I got new back around 1960-61 while I was in college. it kept my wife and I in meat many times back then, times were a little lean so used .22 shorts mostly. Squirrels were usually the target, so essentially headshots were the norm!
 I just got mine out of the safe today and will be putting a new scope on it!

Marlin Model 80.

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
