The windage turret can overhang the top of the receiver and an ejected round will hit it and fall directly back into the open action. The modern crop of rifle scopes have much larger adjustment turrets and covers than the old style Weavers and Leupold scopes had. Goal? Make it as easy as possible and it will be a better experience in the end. If stand hunting the variable could be a big advantage to the young hunter. Perhaps 3-9 is overkill), perhaps not (depends on the situation and type of hunting) but, don't go any bigger objective than 32mm with any you get. No, a variable scope isn't necessary but, nice for a young shooter. More than 100 yards or so with a 30-30 is a push anyway. If it's a 2 MOA difference average to 1". 1-3 MOA max and big game have a much larger kill zone than that. The only difference is there can be a windage zero difference between close (to 50 yards) and longer (100 yards +) but it isn't much and for hunting you can average the amount making it insignificant in most hunting situations.
#Winchester 94ae scope mounts install
It takes about 10 minutes to install them. I'd link them all (just Google Model 94 side mount) but if you require a side mount scope mount for a post 64 94 top ejecting rifle, there are several manufacturers that make the mounts that use the existing screw holes on the receiver. A Vortex Crossfire II 2-7 at $149 would be an excellent choice for a decent quality scope for a beginning hunter. I don't know where you are shopping but there are scout scopes available from as low as $60 (AIM) to $400+. The scout mount I linked does not require drilling or tapping and the Kwik-Site mount is readily available on Amazon as I linked. You do not have to do any such thing as rotate the scope 90 degrees. You just put it on correctly and use it as a normal scope. Never seen a side mount that required the scope to be rotated in such a manner. That works fine but can be confusing to some people. The windage becomes elevation and the elevation becomes windage. With the side mount, the scope must be rotated 90* for proper ejection of fired cartridges. The "scout" type of forward mount will require the barrel to be drilled and tapped and not many scopes are available in the lower price ranges that are intermediate eye relief. The Kwik-sites are no longer made but work as intended. The Weaver ring set will require a separate base but allows for easy on/off for the scope. The Talley Lightweight unitized design eliminates the possibility of an “out of alignment” interface or “loose connection” between the ring and base of traditional two-piece designs.Larry's comments are founded on solid reasoning. The rigid design has no joint between the scope and the rifle. The one-piece construction of the Talley Lightweight Alloy Scope Mount is unique. Simply said, Talley Lightweight Alloy Scope Mounts are the best. Talley Scope Ring systems provide repeatability, flexibility, strength, and durability for the most discriminating of sportsmen. American craftsmanship, state-of-the-art CNC automation and stringent quality controls have vaulted Talley products to the top of the scope ring industry. With over 40 years of setting the industry standard for superior quality, Talley Scope Mounts have become known for precise tolerances.
#Winchester 94ae scope mounts series
By extruding the 7000 series alloy known for its durability and then precision CNC machining the mount to its final design we can provide you with the strongest, lightest mount system on the market. Ultimately this provides more strength and durability than rival steel rings and bases but doing it with a lighter overall weight. The Talley Lightweight unitized design eliminates the possibility of an "out of alignment" interface or "loose connection" between the ring and base of traditional two-piece designs.
