Thread: Improving lever gun sights - red dot, ghost ring or fixed power scope?

I would be doubtful that anybody in Canterbury can do or buddy hunting like is common in the North island. Given that it would be handy to be able to take the occasional 150m shot which brings you back to a low powered scope. Lever actions weren't designed with scope minting in mind so that brings you back to an AR.

Nice buy Jonathan. I used a winchester 94 30-30 as bush rifle and speed shooting range rifle in north island. You can use open sights in the bush happily out to 100m on bigger animals if eg the vee is not too large. Personally I used a 2.5x leupy and that was perfect for 0-200 yard shooting. With new 160gr leverevolution ammos you'll drop reds at 250m, so a 1-4x varipower scope will be spot on.

Welcome to the lever fraternity.

Welcome to the lever fraternity.

just need to keep my eyes open for an approp scope at the right money.

4x scope or red dot,

I have a 2-7 on mine. Love having the ability to extend the range even though it lives on 2x most of the time

Agree, there are many much cheaper but just as good options. Nothing wrong with vortex, I have several and rate them
