It's going to be hard to include all you wants in one package. First off, the top eject 94 only has a few options as far as mounts go. If you're lucky, it has the side-mount holes for the a side mount base already drilled, if not you're looking at that added expense, plus the mount and rings for the side mount set up. Or there's the scout scope setup already mentioned, which will also take a gunsmith to drill and tap your receiver and and get everything lined up. Then the scope question. You would like something quick to mount, yet have finger adjustable turrets. That's not an easy task. Most target turret scopes are of the higher magnification, and you're needing a quick, wide field of view, that typically have standard, coin slotted turrets. If it were me, and I had to put a scope on that 94, with different scope adjustments for different loads, I would opt for the side mount base, and buy as many side ring mounts as I needed for the different loads I would shoot. Then buy multiple scopes and zero each one for a different load, and swap them as you change loads. Or you're going to have a lot of notes to keep track of if you try to reset your zero as you change loads at the range or the field. With the scout setup, you're more limited to the scope selection, most I've seen have been the Burris 2.5X, and is a wonderful , quick setup, especially for hogs. Here again I would opt for 2 or more pre-zeroed scopes in quick detach rings than trying to rely on a notebook or memory to reset my zero in the field.
This is why I own a total of 14 lever guns, ranging from iron sights, to peep sight, to XS Sights, to Scopes of various makes and sizes. A different set up for different loads or types of hunting. My ultimate reccomendation is go rifle shopping and and add another 94 (or two) to your battery, a Winchester or a Marlin, that's already set up for mounts, and set it up with the quick-detatch bases and rings and scopes of you choice, and don't drill any extra holes in that top-eject 94.
Hope this helps-
