We now know why there is a difference in the elevation ramp height between each rifle.

The Marlin 795 measures 0.620" and the Marlin 60 measures 0.648" across the muzzle. Both barrels are much thicker at the rear sight. It seems that the barrel on the M60 is heavier and tapers less which explains the elevation difference on the rear sight.
