Anyone scope a model 94 30-30 ?

[luberhill]

I have a Winchester 30-30 AR

It’s all drilled for a scope . I would like to use it for deer out to 50 yards on one wooded spot I have .

 The iron sights and my 65 yr old eyes don’t work good together 

Weaver makes the bases and I can get a Leupold 1.5 -4 x20 scope pretty cheap

Sounds like a winning combination to me, I do not have any Winchester 94s but I do have lever action Marlins and a Savage that wear low powered straight 2 1/2s, 1x4 and 1x5s. They have all worked out great for any hunting I did with them.

94s were top eject until their last run, when angle eject came out..that is, under the long time ownership before they went bellyup in  the nineties.  Before then, you could use an off set scope mount, but they were alwasy very clumsy. I had never heard of the AR...is that the angle eject? My own thoughts...I dearly love my 94s (I have owned four), but to me ...a scope kills its easy natural handling. I have a Williams  aperture on mine, and it is amazing the improvement in accuracy. They used to be all pre drilled for them.

Yes that’s the angle eject , I understand the feelings on the scope but I wouldn’t use it without even with the TruGlo sites 

 The scope makes all the difference

Interesting .... I've never tried a Williams Aperture ... work well do they ?

I have used both Williams and Lyman apertures quite a bit and love them ( I sometimes forget without looking which rifles I have wear which...I have used them on Mausers, 94s, Krags, and on my Lyman Great Plains caplock, which I shoot in league with. If you arent used to open sights, they take getting used to, but much greater accuracy potential than with just open buck horns....Hey, Just ask Quigley!
