Very popular model over on Marlinowners. Made for Kmart. Leupold vx-1 1-4x would be perfect.

Nice snag....the Weaver 1X3 is an excellent choice as Tikkanut previously posted.

That's a nice rifle. I remember the Glenfield 30TK but I didn't know Marlin made those with the post 1983 safety. And, I'll second the motion for the Weaver 1-3X.
Leave the gun, take the canolis.

I've been looking at a few of the 1-3x online, and I am actually debating on simply using the extra Vortex 1-4x I have in the shop. Its a 1-4x, but 30mm tube...not sure if it will be too heavy for the rifle.

Nice. I have one I had rebored to .375 win. I've owned a bunch of Marlins, but it's my favorite. Mine has an old Japanese Bushnell Banner 2.5 Post and Crosshair scope.

In my mind that sweet little rifle would lose all of its handiness with a hunk of glass mounted on it. Were it mine I would stick a tang sight or a receiver sight on it first and give it a workout. After all, a long range sniper rifle it ain't. At bayonet range in thick woods a big aperture would be the t*ts, or even, gasp, the original barrel sights.

I wish I could post a photo of my TK. The blonde wood underneath that faux stain is wonderful!

Couple minutes and an O-Ring,you can defeat that cross bolt safety.
Remove the safety, go to your friendly hardware store and purchase an "O" ring that fits the grove in the safety. After reinstalling the safety, slip the "O" ring over the left end. This will prevent the safety from being applied accidentally.

These are cool little rifles! A local store has had one for a long time that's in bad shape. I wish I could find a nice one.

I still have one and I think Angus1895 was the recipient of the other that I had. I think they are about as handy as it gets.

As uncommon as these rifles are, I actually lucked into a second one yesterday. This one is also a "11" serial number prefix, indicating 1989 year of manufacture. Its not in quite as good condition, but should clean up to around 80% or so. Wood definitely needs to be refinished, but should make a great hunting rifle!
I'll post a few pics once I get home.

The compact V3 Weaver is a great fit for the old straight stocked carbines:

Nothing wrong with that.....Or a Leupold 1-4
I'm eyeballing a 30TK for getting right on $....Be fun to work up a load with some Barnes 30-30 150s and let it pretend it's a 444, with half the recoil.;)

This fairly rare carbine was also sold through Western Auto Stores.
