    Looks like you will need to drill and tap it for scope mounts.  Appears to be ready for a peep sight.

    added I just went looking for a pic of the top of a waffle top receiver and found the one above.  Yes added holes does usually reduce collector value, however I don't think it matters much in shooting/hunting guns.  I'm guessing that if a scope makes the rifle a useful shooter it will be used, not left in the box unfired.

    Please don't drill and tap it. 

    Just get another one that is made for a scope mount.

      Ohh hell no- If you drill it that would be a terrible sin!  That's a beauty right there as is!

    99%? Minty? My personal opinion is that while in good shape it doesn't come close to those descriptions. That being said I would look for one that is already drilled for mounts. If I already owned the gun and due to vision problems needed a scope I'd drill and tap it. Millions have been produced and not likely to lose much value.

     your rifle do what you want . not like its a one of kind  if it was new in the   box  then I might  sell it get a shooter version  with a scope mounted and use the extra money for  ammo or what ever  . 
     add in  we all know life is too short to not enjoy it  while we can , if it makes you happy mount a scope do not worry about some ones opinion  . let them buy it and put in there safe 
     I am always reminded of of the comedian  ( Jay L ? ) who talked about his dad putting the plastic seat coves on there cars back in the day   to save the seats for the next owner while the family sweated there butts off in sitting on the plastic  while dad owned the car

    Please don't drill it it. 
    Waffle-tops were only made during a 4-year period.  I was born during that period so I collect 1952 Marlins (and Winchesters).  It breaks my heart when I locate a reasonably-priced perfect condition 1952 Marlin but it has been drilled and tapped. 
    Buy one made after 1952 and it will be already drilled and tapped.

    Or buy the one on the auction then put a peep sight on it, like God intended!

    Yes on the peep sight but get the blued steel ones, not the black aluminum Williams. 99% seems like a stretch. It's well cared for but not 99. And I never knew they came with a 24" barrel.

    I would not drill and tap that rifle.  I would not do anything to it.

    Some of you are confused, nowhere does the original poster claim his rifle is 99% minty. You are barking up the wrong tree.

    The seller makes the 99% claim.
