    Marlin 1894 Scope Mount

    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.

                      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

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