Scout scopes

[Rhys.94.375]

Hey all.
have a winchester 94, wanting to put a scout scope setup on it.
just wondering what scopes you guys have found best for lever actions, it will be used still around an under the 100meter mark.... looking for relatively cheap scope...

Cheers

Years back I mounted one of the little Redfield IER scopes with base that were meant for the M/94. This was for a fella who just couldn't see the sights anymore. He liked it and hunted a couple more years because of the scope. I think for field of view there are better choices in scopes now. I've used the Weaver base for T/C Contenders on a number of Scout setups and like it just fine. The base is reversable and, installed in the right spot, gives you a lot of mounting options. Done properly you can use an IER or LER pistol scope. Other folks like commercial bases meant for scout setups. Can't comment on them as I have not used them. Go with the best glass you can afford. There might be some good and cheap glass out there but I never seem to find it. I sure like the Leupold 2X IER. I like to find them used and think they are a real good value. Good luck with your project!

I had tried scoping a Thompson Contender...In that effort I acquired a 2x B & L pistol scope. HATED the scoped Contender. When I got my 45/70 Guide Gun, I bought the A/O "Scout Mount" for it, and put that B & L pistol scope on it. LOVE IT..!!
