I've been loving my Marlin 39A for 56 years now, and think it's a really great rifle. It feels like a "gunly" gun; hefty, but not too much, oiled walnut stock, butter smooth action and more accurate than I can shoot.
With a side ejection, you could scope it if you like, put a sling on it if you like, install a tang mounted peep sight if you like, and take it down if you like, but I don't recommend that as it is a very tight fit and you might booger the nice bluing if you're not very careful.
I guess the only quibble I have is that the hammer fall is very heavy.

Seeing all the beautiful rifles pictured above, you have a lot of choices and deciding to do, depending on your taste, the kind of shooting you'd like to do and your budget.
Enjoy whatever you end up with!
