Don't care...it's back on. 
If someone can shoot comps with a scope 1894 to 300 at Bisley, that's good enough for me.
Took nearly two hours to find the bolts etc for the scout mount rail.
Has anyone got a 44mag 1894 for fox?
Don't see why not...guess I need expanding too. Should be fine for 100mish distance.
Comments please.

I don't see what the problem is. I had a red dot on my Marlin .44. The rifle itself was fine at 25 yards at my club but any further it was useless.Robin128 wrote:

I guess jacketed soft points are ok like they are for 30/30 Winchester U/L rifles...no special condition for target shooting because its dangerous to put anything else in an in-line mag. Correct?
Got the condition for 223rem...both the Saiga and Remington 700 Police...for fox.

Come to think of it I had a scope on my Winchester 30/30.
Yes Bobbob...the red dot works ok at 25 for me too. :)

Rob, try H110, magnum primers and 240gn JSPs to take you out to 300. They do go off with a bang though.......
I've had a scout rail and a Burris Scout Scope on my 1894P since I got it. Fast as a red dot, but with a lot more precision. I can't mount scopes on some of my Marlins........ as they were made in the 19th century!
No Rob, you did not get a bollocking because you put a scope on a Marlin. You got a bollocking becase you put such an UGLY scope on a Marlin.........

I have a genuine excuse for fitting optics to my rifles two and a half hours of eye surgery that left me with not to good vision. But even with my duff eyes and my home loads I could put them all in the black at 25mtrs with my trapper.
Optics on a under lever I feel ill. :roll: :roll: :roll:
