I took a chance on the medium scope rings and found that a 40mm objective barely clears the sights. When I shouldered the marlin it felt comfortable and I didn't see any real problems with it. I'm by far not a expert but feel that this set up is as good as any of my other deer rifles. I do have a long neck and my x-wife did call me a jackass.
