Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Do you guys scope your levers?

Thanks for the replies fellas and great looking rigs. Think I'll take Montana Marine's idea and try out the ghost rings.

Semper Fi,

Good choice, I still run 'em on my M94 Winchester.

So where are you ordering your gohst rings? These darn things are pricey but not sure if I can see worth a darn at 100 yards haha.

I scope mine, with my eyesight, you wouldn't want to be in the woods with me if I didn't !!

Here's new Marlin wood, compared to old Marlin wood....
Give me "Old" any time (Both .444's)....

That one on the bottom is real nice.

I don't think the choice has anything to do with bar rooms, or macho men.

It's just a personal decision. Mostly influenced by our individual vision, purposes, and aesthetic preferences.

Leave the macho BS in the barroom and use whatever it takes to get the job done quickly and cleanly. After all it is YOUR shot and YOUR game. A gut shot animal dies slowly and the meat tastes really bad and doesn't make you macho because you listened to Macho Man...just the opposite.

No macho BS. I take the advice of Montana Marine because I know his experience and welcome the input.

That is where mine came from also.

This is my boys Browning 71 I decided to set it up with a scout scope (this is shot both eyes open for best results) the base is an old burris that was made for the 94 and a scout scope. Is a great combination for hunting purposes he just returned from a Bison hunt the 348 with 250 grain woodleighs did the job. I really like how a scout scope performs on a lever gun and I think they look outstanding as well.

Now we need to see pictures of the bison!

I"ll try.

Well had to crop the pict/file to get in with the size limit sorry it really does not do the animal justice. I would gladly email some one the pict to post.

I have a Savage 99 in 250-3000. everyone that sees it asks why I don't scope it.

I could never do such a thing since it was my Grandfathers before he died, and its important to me to leave it the way it is.

aside from that I think its fine without the scope. I can hit a 10" gong @200 yards 3 out of 5 shots in standing position. Im certainly no sniper. but I thought that wasn't too bad

I scope my modern Marlin's, but leave my pre-64 Winchesters alone. That means I hunt with the Marlins regularly, but the M94 Winchester only gets out occasionally - cannot see a damn thing the last 15 minutes of legal light unless I have a scope.
