Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
Use Weaver rings made for 22's. They are made for that type of rifle. Burris also make 22 rings for the 25.

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
I've attached photos. The mount size seems to be good (3/8) but I cannot tighten down the rings to hold the dovetail.IMG_0825.jpgIMG_0824.jpg

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
It doesn*t look like the receiver has a ring groove. The cut looks square.

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
With that set of rings not having a 2-piece "claw"(lack of better word) - you might need to really tighten that thing to bend the legs in. The screw certainly has the threading to bring them together.
They advertise it being for 11mm(3/8") rails, and specifically call out .22 and air rifles that use that size of rail.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
Thank you for your replies. I appreciate your help. I see what you are saying. They lack something to catch and pull it to the other side. I think this set of rings has the claw to which you are referring. https://a.co/d/ihCaXPO

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
Indeed. And look at the pictures with the rings. The cut looks square. The points of the mounts appear to align with a vertical surface.
Edit: Considering further, is the groove for the rings lower on the receiver and the horizontal bar on the rings keeping them from getting low enough to engage it?

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
This is the style you need.
I don't know what height you are looking for, I know the bolt handle is very tall on the Marlins. The mounts on the bottom right adapt the 3/8" groove to a Weaver mount.
If you think one of these might be the correct height you're welcome to try them.

Re: Optic Mounting on Marlin 25M
I think the problem has to do with the legs of the ring set that he bought. Being 1-piece, you have to tighten them pretty hard to bend them into the grooves. Whereas normal rings have a separate piece to pull into the groove.
If you Google "Marlin M25" you'll see a bunch of pics of scoped rifles.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag
