As an avid Marlin rifle collector and member of the Marlin Firearms Collectors Ass’n, author John F. Grossen has thoroughly explored a niche of the Marlin world that few others have, and the result is a definitive work of riflescopes, mounting systems and accessories.
Marlin Rifle Scopes: 1936 To 2014 gives readers detailed specs and a comprehensive listing of optics sold by the Marlin Firearms Co., beginning with the No. 1 and No. 2 produced in the mid-1930s by Wollensak Optical of Rochester, N.Y., and ending with Chinese-produced optics sold with Marlin rifles up to 2014.
Beyond the association with Marlin Firearms, the book is a richly illustrated glimpse into the history of riflescope production throughout the 20th century and early 21st century.
The suggested retail price is $35 and it is available on Amazon.
