I put a XS Lever Scout rail on my 1895SS 45-70 and then put a spare Nikon Spur red dot and really like it. A bit of ying and yang with old school meets new school. The Nikon is real low profile and it does not get in the way or impact handling. I hunt pigs with this rifle and can mo t a thermal on it if I want to night hunt with the big bore.
