It depends upon the DOM of your rifle, as Winchester 94's were made with two different hole/thread sizes, large/small, for the saddle rings.

MidwayUSA might still sell the plug screws, as I've bought them there, previously.

8-40 is a screw size used by some scope base mounts, that will probably be easier than finding a 1/4 30.  A 1/4 28 that is very short may well go in two threads before it gets tight and be just right.  Larry
