My son has inherited a model 94 44 rem, he wants to deer hunt with it. What is a good scope Mount?
Scope Mount for Winchester model 94

Assuming its drilled and tapped, I've simply used a Weaver low profile base. Some guys like a "see through" which sits higher so you can peek under neath and use the iron sights too. Being that its a 44, I wouldn't use it out beyond 75-80 yards myself. After 100 yds, that 180-300 gr. round looses to much punch. (IMO)
No need for a high power scope.

Also, He should look into the Levereveolution ammo. You have to be careful what type of bullet shape to put into a tube feed since one bullet nose will be sitting on the primmer of the one on top in the tube. I have had solid deer harvests using this round in my Marlin.

After thought...
To those thinking of getting into a deer with some of the lever guns..
The reason the leverevoltion ammo is best is because of the soft polymer tip. Its safe to use in a tube feed gun, stacking "3" rounds, bullet tip to shell primer. Loading roundish nose type rounds could cause tip of 1 bullet to set off the primer in the one above. If the gun was (for example) sitting on a truck tail gate and fell off hitting the base of the shoulder stock on the ground, it could go off...
On the brighter side though. Its a solid deer killer at short ranges. A lot of fun to shoot. Off season I'll shoot 44 spe. at ground hogs an such.
I wish him the best of luck this season!

Thanks for the all the information, I would prefer a no drill, like a rail, but not sure if they are any good.
