RE: Handgun Scope on a Win Model 94 Lever Action
WAPRO,
This design is called a scout rifle, One just was returned to one of my custumers, I had drilled and tapped it, altered a weaver base and installed a fixed 2x e.e.r. scope.
Takes some getting used to but after that aquiring your target is very fast.
It is acually comman here in Michigan.

Jag, the scope sets forward of the receiver so the extra eye relief would work. I don't know if some of the longer eye relief handgun scopes would be too much or not.

RE: Handgun Scope on a Win Model 94 Lever Action
I have tried these "Scout" arrangements, and gave them up. I consdider a scope halfway down the barrel to be very cumbersome, clumsy, and easy to damage, particularly on the M94's! There is really no "good" way to scope a top-eject Winchester lever action rifle. I gave up on this and went back to just using good receiver sights! If you insist on a scope on a lever action, use a Marlin so you can put the scope where it should be!!
Keep yore powder dry!!

RE: Handgun Scope on a Win Model 94 Lever Action
Frizz, thats kind of what I figured, but won't it take some drilling and tapping? Sounds like it may be more trouble and money than its worth. Just guessing though.

RE: Handgun Scope on a Win Model 94 Lever Action
I think this one fits into the existing dovetail and it tightened down with set screws. I wouldn't imagine it being the strongest setup. At least with the setup for the 336 the end of the mount is screwed to the front of the receiver. Personally I wouldn't bother scoping a 30-30 Win unless you just have to. I know some federal reserves make you use a scope. I think a peep sight would let you shoot just about as far as the 30-30 is capable.
