Here is a picture of mine. It was born in 1958(same year I was born). Boy the stories this rifle could tell. IMO scopes and lever's do not mix. Get a good peep site if you are concerned about better accuracy(like the one on my 9422). IMO young hunter's should learn how to shoot open sight's before they graduate to a scope. I see way too many hunter's who do not know how to shoot. They see the scope as a quick fix for their inabilty to shoot. Tom.
