marlin 1894CL sight or scope?

I have an 1894CL in 32-20. I am thinking about putting either a skinner sight or scope on it. Does anyone have any pictures of the 1894CL with receiver sights or scope. If I scope it I will use probably a Leupold 2-7X33 compact scope. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The F-14 can easily fly with one engine. He was probably trying to bring it back to land safely when the other engine went out. When you loose both engines you lose hydraulics. Kinda hard to bring it in that way.
