Yeap that is the best of the scouts you can buy . (IMHO) Long generous eye relief. 9.3 inches of recoil relief.
Might see what adding the german #1 post would cost as then it is perfect. Most custom shop scopes are available with the german #1.
There is a far cheaper version available from the China. NCSTAR.
You might see if the whole scout scope concept is your cup of tea with one of these. If you don't like it for the price you can put it on a pistol. I set up two of these scopes on .44 mag rifles and they have held up for 100 rounds so far. But these are not 1895gs rifles. I have one on a contender pistol in .223 and it works well. Still have 8.7 to 10 inches of eye relief.

Might as well also give up the best supplier of marlin accesories also. WWG is great stuff. I like the laser/light sight and the happytrigger. They also have scout setups and and ghost rings.
