Hey All,
Thank you for the compliments...
Yes an AE ,94 can be scoped. Here is a pic showing that they can be scoped on top not just some side plate scheme.
This winnie angle eject has see thru mounts - I've used these on a Marlin 356 win an like them. Brass is ejected up an sideways not hitting the scope. The cut out in the receiver in in the first picture in my first post enables this.
To me the Winchester lever action 94s have been a slimmer trimmer better balanced lighter just handier lever action than other lever guns. Don't get me wrong I like all lever guns and bought other brands because at the time I sought more power than the 30-30 hence Browning BLRs. Also in my experience for a given calibre in lever guns Winnie's are more expensive so I usually went for the less costly. Anyway now is time to downsize in recoil and weight so a reasonably priced winnie 30-30 and a 45 colt marlin is a start. My biggest wish for henry is that they would take a long hard look at how heavy many of their offerings are - oh an more side gates too. Fine if you just target shoot or hunt from a stand or a blind. Not so fine if you are like me still hunting on the move carrying all the time. And on a side note I do know that Winchester made 45 colt angle eject lever guns but I think they are real rare. Be cool to find one though.
