Another option.
www.mod94scoperail.com/index.html I assume mounts are exportable from the U.S. as they quote international shipping rates.
I sold a model 94 because I wanted a rifle I could easily scope. Today I would have kept it and used a reflex or red dot sight. They are accurate enough for hunting at 30-30 ranges. Back then the only option was the long eye relief scope.

Williams makes high quality products in my experience. Also, try these guys for a scout type mount. They are in Fort Worth, TX.
xssights.com/index.php...copemounts
Vince, I use a 2.5x Leupold Scout Scope on my lever action and love it. I first saw a scout scope set-up on an old-timer's Winchester 30-30. It was natural to shoot 2-eyes open. I was interviewing the "old timer" regarding his experience as a radio operator flying B-29s in WWII. He flew in Operation Matterhorn which went from India, across the Himalayas, refueled in China, then went on to Japan.

Hey Vinnie check this e-bay address. I just noticed there's quite a few Williams sights, don't know if they have what you want but it might be easier for contacting them.

If you change your mind I have seen this mount on a 94 or at least it looked like this mount. It was at the gun show I attended in Las Vegas a few years back. It had no scope but the dealer selling it suggested a reflex sight. The mount appeared solid and well made. The rifle was pre-64 and in very good condition. The price was right. Unfortunately it is way too expensive for an individual to export firearms to Canada from the U.S. I eventually found my Savage 99 so I have my lever action but I sure liked that 94. Good luck mate.

We used the Weaver side mounts on Browning Shotguns before factory bases were available !!!
Never had an issue shooting 1 and 1 1/4 ounce slugs.....a little on the ugly side but they worked.

Vince, here's an XS "Scout scope" mount on a Win 94. The scope is a Nikon but I'm not sure if they make it any more. Midway lists eight "Scout scopes" from $125 on up. A handgun scope might work, depending on its eye relief. |
I think all handgun scopes I've had (Thompson/Center, Leupold, Nikon and Bushnell) would work.

I found several handgun scopes that required more eye relief than was available with my scout scope mount.

Yeah, most handgun scopes start at about 14" minimum. You might check out Bushnell's long eye-relief scope - www.midwayusa.com/prod...cle-matte. Won't break the bank and might give you enough clearance at 6"...plus it is currently on sale.

Vince, why not a peepsight? I did that on my old Winchester 94. I'll send you a picture.
and I checked it, it's a Williams peep sight that's very easy to mount on the back. Just 2 screws and you're in business (if you also lower the V of the iron sights)
