I posted this over on marlinowners and I got some great responses, but I wanted to cast a wider net:
I'm going to have to mount a scope on my 1894c. I don't really like it, but its either that or guess at what and where I am shooting at. Irons, even peeps are blurri g out on me.
So, I want small and light obviously, no 16x monstrosities. While I am not fixed on leupold, they seem to offer the smallest scopes other than the weaver 1-3x20 which I have and don't want for this application. I want the power to bottom out at 2. So I was looking at the
Leuoold fx2 ultralight 2.5x20
Or the leupold rimfire
the fx2 looks pretty yummy in terms of small size and light weight, but the long eye relief (5")seems like mounting it might present a problem. And lets face it, it's expensive. (I'd love to find that mythical just as good but half the price scope)
Do y'all had an opinion or preference or other suggestion.
I've tried the scout scope on another gun with a cheap scope. It works pretty well, but I shoot left and I'm right eye dominant t so the both eyes open thing doesn't work real well for me, and 1 eye gives a pretty small field of view.
pictures are welcome.
