Scope and ring question for Winchester 94

[gunsrfun1]

I have a new Winchester 94 .30-30 which I have already sent back for a repair (carrier problem.) Anyway, once I get it back, I plan to mount a 4x scope, but I want to leave the iron sights in as well. This will be my first experience mounting a scope, so here are my questions:
1) I am looking at the Millett turn-in style (vs. Weaver style) base and rings, but I just read about a one-piece ring by Williams called the Streamline. Any pros or cons on either?
2) I want to mount the scope as low as possible (one advantage of the Millets, they have low rings), but I don't want the iron sights to block the scope's view. Do I have to mount the scope so that the bottom of the scope clears the top of the iron sights? (I am talking height, not forward-backward). Thanks.

i'm affraid i'm none too knowledgable with regards to different kinds of rings so i can't help you there. when i bought my '94, it ahd a scope on it and the sights didn't interfere with the scope at all, but the little stepped adjuster piece was removed. (i don't know what its called). i removed the whole schpiel in favor of some fibre optic open sights. i have the two pierce bases, rings, hardware for an angle eject model and a 3-9x scope if you're interested. i'm willing to sell it really cheap if you want it. i'll check the make and model of the scope for you if you'd like. i think its a simmons. if you want the whole shootin' match just send me and email to [email protected] and make me an offer. its just taking up room and i'm not going to use it on anything.
