Talley 25.4 mm Complete Mount for Marlin 983

• Integrated ring-and-base design: The one-piece construction combines the rings and base into a single mount, reducing extra joints in the system and helping keep scope alignment consistent on a rimfire rifle.
• 25.4 mm (1 inch) scope fit: Built for standard 1 inch riflescope tubes, this mount suits many classic rimfire hunting optics and keeps the setup simple when matching scope and rifle.
• Aluminium construction: The lightweight alloy build adds less bulk than many steel alternatives, which helps preserve the easy handling and balance of compact Marlin and similar rimfire rifles.
• Receiver-specific compatibility: Designed for Marlin 983 and related rifles, the mount is shaped for a direct fit, which simplifies installation and avoids the extra parts often needed with more universal mounting systems.
• Made in USA: Domestic machining and production support the close tolerances expected from a scope mount, which matters when the goal is a secure fit and repeatable optic positioning.

About the Talley Alloy Rings Series

Talley Alloy Rings are built around a straightforward idea: combine the base and rings into one unitized mount so there are fewer separate parts between the rifle and the scope. Within Talley’s lineup, this series serves shooters who want a lighter mounting system than traditional steel ring-and-base combinations while still keeping the fit specific to the firearm. The series remains an active Talley product family and includes receiver-specific versions for a wide range of rifles, with options for different scope-tube diameters depending on the application.

The defining characteristic of the series is its integrated one-piece design, which removes the separate ring-to-base connection found on conventional two-piece setups. In practical use, that approach helps reduce potential alignment issues and keeps installation more direct. The series is especially well suited to hunting rifles and rimfire rifles where low weight, clean lines and dependable scope positioning matter more than modular rail-based flexibility. Talley Lightweight Alloy Scope Mounts are intended for shooters who want a simple, receiver-matched solution that keeps the optic secure without adding unnecessary mass.

About the Talley 25.4 mm Complete Mount for Marlin 983

The Talley 25.4 mm Complete Mount for Marlin 983 is a fixed scope mount made for shooters who want a clean, direct way to install a 1 inch riflescope on a compatible rimfire rifle. Its main advantage is not complexity, but simplicity: the mount combines the base and rings in one assembly, so there are fewer interfaces to manage during installation. On a rifle such as the Marlin 983, that makes sense for practical field use, where a secure optic position and straightforward setup are often more important than frequent reconfiguration.

The aluminium construction helps keep overall rifle weight down, which is particularly useful on compact rimfire platforms carried for small-game hunting, pest control or general range use. A lighter mount also helps preserve the natural balance of rifles such as the Marlin 917, Marlin XT-22 or Ruger American Rimfire models listed in the compatibility range. Because this is a receiver-specific complete mount, it is intended to fit the rifle directly rather than relying on a more universal rail system. That usually means a neater profile over the action and fewer extra components between the optic and the firearm.

For shooters using traditional rimfire scopes with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) tube, this Talley mount provides a practical pairing with classic hunting optics. It suits setups where reliability, low weight and a tidy mounting arrangement matter most, especially on rifles that are carried often and shot at the moderate distances typical of rimfire use.
