Congrats! I've heard those are great. Is that a synthetic stock? Post a picture or two if you get a chance.
I went to WM at lunch to get some prices on 795 Blued/Synth $135 and 795 SS/Synth $195. I really like the looks of the stainles but with the $25 refund from Marlin that is a nice little rifle for $110. The even bigger decision is to go with a 795 or Model 60. Decisions decisions.

I've got a CenterPoint 4-16x40 on my Marlin 25MN, and it works Just Fine & Dandy
However, those locking adjusters sometimes mess folks up, you absolutely need to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before messing with it at ALL. Because if you don't unlock the adjusters before turning the knobs, you can break internal parts...so it kinda pays to know how to unlock 'em and do so every time.
On the upside, it's a set it & forget it kinda scope...once it's locked in....it's set.
No further monkeying around needed.
And if you are familiar with Mil-dot reticles...it's a real breeze to use
Also, the red/green lighted reticle is wonderful for early morning & late afternon...helps you aim better in low light conditions...
Never get one that's been opened, as it's likely some schmuck returned it because he didn't unlock the adjusters and broke stuff inside.
