PS - It should be pretty easy for someone who can do precision drilling to add a third hole to the mounting plate so it could sit in the rear mount holes on the 1894 action and not hang off the back end.
That would probably be the ideal place to put it, but honestly it's not a big deal at all. I'm not having any problems using the sight with it in the front mounting position.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
