I did get the scope mounted on my Winchester Model 94. I had to mount it upside down, which makes adjusting the elevation a little awkward. The windage adjustment didn't have enough range to swap it for elevation.

Except for making affecting the balance, it isn't bad. I can use either the sights or the scope.

I sighted it in at 75 yards. I was concerned about parallax, but I can hold the same tight circle at 40 yards and 100 yards, and I can't even see a difference between 150 vs. 170 grain Winchester shells. I'm pretty happy with it.

I bought a new Marlin Model 60 .22 while here on our visit to Edmond, OK. It is to replace my original 1959 J.C. Higgins Model 31. I like a wood stock and tube feed -- its a lot harder to misplace the tube feed vs. a clip. I was also able to get .22 shells here! Neither have been very available back home. Anyway, I'll get to sight it in with the scope from my old Model 31 when I get home at the end of the week.
