mounting a scope
« on: June 09, 2006, 02:12:35 PM »
I am thinking about putting a scope on my 1894 C.  It looks like it is already drilled and tapped, but I'm not sure.  As you can tell, I'm not a gunsmith :lol: .

I plan to use a Leupold M-8 4 power that I already have.

Go for it. Yes it has been D & T'd from the factory. I prefer 20mm scopes with no front bell on leverguns. Just personal preference, looks cleaner to me.
Any law that makes self-defense illegal or impractical is an illegitimate law, and should not be obeyed, because such a law ultimately subjects people to the criminal element.

Thanks DD.  I too prefer no big bells on levers.  The M-8 is pretty slim and should look good.  I'll take it off a 30-06 I bought used and put the bigger scope on it.  Need the magnification so I can count the points when I hunt PA. :lol:
