How do you mount a scope on a Marlin 55 Goose Gun. I have the Weaver 10m side mount, however do not know where to drill and tap for the mount. Does anyone have any information on this. Thanks in advance.

  Best to take it to a competent gunsmith. The holes for the mount have to be layed out correctly so that axis of the scope is parallel to the bore. Also as the receiver of bolt action shotguns are made of thin steel, the holes have to be drilled very accurately for tapping with a fine thread tap. If you don't have the proper tools and know how, you could screw up your shotgun big time.
