Hey Johnny2, here's what I did with my New Englander - a 2X pistol scope in "scout" configuration. Works fine and is fast in target acquisition.

Yeah. It's my "knock around" gun. One day I'm going to pull a Corey and strip the stock and put an oil finish on it. It's a good shooter - got a half dozen does to its credit, but not one buck.

I have a couple of the sidelocks scoped. We are allowed 1X magnification in our State. While it is not an increase in ability to see, in fact just the opposite perhaps, it is a better aiming device which makes my rifle more accurate.
I find nothing wrong or unattractive with them. I personally like them. I have bought base plates for a renegade, now I just have to figure out how to use them as they are different then the current mounts I have on them.

I think a scope on a sidelock is similar to putting radial tires on a collector car, Not original but makes for better handling and a better ride.

I made an aluminum rail for my White Mountain Carbine so I could put a scope on it. I had to get the offset hammer. I never did hunt with the scope on it , as I bought 2 inlines that I now use. Here is a picture of the rail I made. Kinda crude but it does the job!!! I'll post the pic later....the rail is at dad's house...
