Cavebob: the 94AE is very easy to scope and the Angle Eject design allows a top mounted scope. Scope bases are readily available. I have scoped two of my AEs without problem. Thanks to Graybeard's suggestions from a much earlier post I looked into the Bushnell Banner line of scopes and found their 1.5-4.5 power Dawn to Dusk scope handles the recoil from my 444s without problem and gave me great clarity and light gathering. They are fairly inexpensive and I have four of my rifles, two AEs and two bolts, topped with them. HTH. Mikey.
