gruntus Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi All, I have a Winchester 94 AE with an XS Rail which looks similar to this IMAGE HERE and currently looking for a scope with long eye relief for use on Gallery Rifle circa 25 metre ( .357 magnum). Does anyone have any experience with Long Eye Relief scopes and recommend any scopes suitable for my application? I'm only looking to use for internal club comps and assist my peepers when target shooting (not sure what to budget for yet either). Thanks in advance. 🙂 G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi there you could try a pistol scope , I’ve tried one from PAO on an air pistol with good results , otherwise it’s a dedicated scout type scope that’s needed as per the photo .

ntg Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hi, I used this one a .44 MAG Chiappa Alaskan Take Down https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/vortex-crossfire-ii-2-7x32-sfp-scout-scope scope was great but the rifle not so much.

gruntus Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thanks all, Im planning on a week in the Peak district in the next few weeks and suspect I may identify places to visit that may just so happen to have some shops that stock scopes along the way..... 😉 Shhhhh....mums the word...... 😆 ATB G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I have a Chiappa Alaskan with a Leupold 2.5x28 and the scope is quite nice (Think they have stopped making it though...) If you have an AE, why do you need a scout scope? The point of the AE models is you can mount a scope conventionally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hi Scrumbag, I bought the XS set which allows the scope to be quickly removed from the rail and to also be able to use the ghost ring sight when removed.

Cheers G Ah understood. I have had an XS sight installed on my 1892 Chiappa clone and it works OK. Just waiting for a sight stem which can take smaller apertures to turn up... If you put Weaver blocks on your 94 AE you could of course use a NEGC or XS weaver peep sight. The above isn't my rifle, it's a Canadian youtuber called Brobee223. I reckon with QD rings that would be a great iron sight / scope option on your 357. Think that's a Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x28 IER Scout Rifle Scope | Uttings.co.uk Scrummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Go to any Steyr Scout user forum and see what guys are shooting or recommending. I have a Leuould IER 2X on my 6.5 Scout. Shot placement on mule deer is easy out to 200 yards. ~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaxes Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Leupold or Burris are the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
