Marlin 1894 Scope Mount

[orangeusa]

I am leaning towards a scope mount that allows use of the stock iron sights... (44 Remmag)

And scope magnification range suggestions welcomed...

Any suggestions ?

FWIW I mounted a 2.5 power Simmons scope on mine. Just enough glass for plinking and target shooting.

I'm sure someone will soon chime in and suggest a 2 X 12 tactical sniper scope.

Good point, this IS only for plinking and target shooting.
You notice I did not ask for scope recommendations, for that very reason..

Yes sir that is why I put FWIW. OTOH you did ask about power/magnification.

I really enjoy the 2.5 and I had a 4X mini scope before that one.

Okay, I partially opened the door...

You did!

40mm lense with turret adjustments for windage and elevation.
You know the 44 mag shoots like a rainbow.

This would be a fun setup. Period correct for an 1894.

I would lean towards a compact 1.5-4x. Would be a nice fit for a compact carbine.

For mount I like the Skinner express scope mount, with qd talley rings. From scoped to iron sights in about 3 seconds, and Skinner makes quality products. Xs lever rail is also very good. They sell a post that allows screw in apertures, need to dig around the website to find it.

I would not recommend trying to get super high see through rings however. Sorta worst of both worlds imo.

I added a skinner to my lever gun. I went with a peep sight.

Peep sights are superior to the buckhorn to me.

Friends suggested a LPVO but I think I’ll stick with a peep.

Very happy with the skinner product on lever guns

Leupold scout scope with German post.

Warne QDs and a Leupold VX-2 1-4x20mm.

orange, if you're interested, somewhere in this mess I have a Weaver mount and a hammer extension off a Marlin.

PM'd you. Scott

Small RDS w/QD mount. Leupold Deltapoint would make for quick hits, and serve well with the limitations of a pistol cartridge being used in a shoulder-fired weapon.

On my Marlin 1894 with sling chambered in .357 magnum, you can see the scope set up, and it has the hammer extension.




Below it is my Winchester model 94AE chambered in .357 magnum, for buckhorn/ iron sight shooting..
