    Depends on what you want to use it for,and what sort of facilities the rifle has for mounting a scope?:confused:

    just using it for a few bunnys and a bit for targets
    a small size scope with high mounts so not to get in the way of the hammer some thing that would keep me happy to about 200 yards

    I suggest a cheapish scout scope with barrel mount on a Lever Action!

    Lever action don't have inherent accuracy to begin with so don't go spending too much on a top of the range scope!

    Not a bad idea Ivan,just it isnt everyones taste a scout mount.TBH,I've never seen anyone with one here.You could also use a holosght for what he is suggesting.
