Win94 AE scope mount

Hello All,

Newbie here with my first post. I recently sorta inherited a Winchester 94 Angle Eject 44 Mag (trapper?). My eyes aren't what they used to be and I'd like to mount a red dot on the rifle. I'd like to try deer hunting with it this fall. I hunt in an area of Nebraska where my longest shot to date has been 100 yards.

Would one of you experienced fellas or gals please suggest a mount for me? I'd prefer a one piece mount for weaver rings. A two piece mount would be OK too. I just don't know where to start looking.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Baldcavalier, my 94 trapper is scoped and I use Weaver bases and rings. Solid and economic.
Nath.

Be glad to help your karma (and me). I replied to your PM. I knew this was the place to find some fine folks.

Now I have to decide on the red dot. And practice, practice, practice. What's a good commercial 44 load for whitetail? Has anybody seen the Hornady LeverEvolution in 44 yet?

I have a nice red dot (shotdot) made by Simmons with 4 different reticle types small(4moa) dot, large(8moa) dot, small crosshair and Diamond plex. It's got more than enough brightness levels and I like the preciseness of the crosshairs for sight-in and the boldness of the dots for target aquisition. Mine is mounted on a .450 marlin and seems to be holding up fine. For shooting to 150 yds or so, I think you'll find the multi-reticle red dots an excellent sight. Good luck
Oh, Cabela's is carrying the new .357 and .44 mag LE ammo.

i was at cabelas today. (i love that place) i people watched and looked at the used guns as my wife shopped the mall. anyway...Cabelas has their "pine ridge" brand scopes on sale. (i was told by several employees that the scope is made by Nikon) they have a special package deal on the 3x9x40 pine ridge scope with a 10x42 set of binoc's. it is on sale for $75. i have one of the scopes on my 45-70 handi rifle and it performs very well. it also comes with a lifetime warranty. no questions asked.
