Marlin Model 60 sight options?

[Seedy]

I made a trade this evening for a Marlin Model 60 for my Son (10yrs old) and I to shoot with.

He's been learning on a Daisy powerline 880 and a Daisy "buck". While he was very excited to have a "real gun" to shoot with me, he did express the fact that he preferred "tru-glo" style sights to traditional iron sights.

What kind of options do I have for possibly swapping out sights...or maybe mounting a scope to give him something more akin to what he's used to?

A decent scope and you and he will both be surprised at what you can hit. I had a model 60 and wish I'd never gotten rid of it. A buddy and I used to shoot at spent shotgun shells from 50 and 100 yards. Very accurate!

Back in the day those style sights were my favorite open sites.
These days I can barely see the end of the barrel.....
I always felt that teaching a kid on open/iron sights was doing them a favor.
Then when they moved up to optics they appreciated them better and if
anything every happen to the glass they'd still be able to carry on.

I'm not quite ready to start going to an optometrist for my googles yet.
Still buyingthem from the checkout stand at Walmart......
When the bi-focals become standard issue I might go back to those sites.
