The son is left eye dominant, if that matters. He wants to mount a scope and needs info on any possibilities for a side mounted option. I researched what I could, and found that a side mount affects parallax and the most common alternative is adding a peep sight to the rear of the receiver. I've never seen a top eject model and have never owned a lever action of any kind so I have little to help him with in the way of advice or experience. I was wondering if any of you with expertise on the Win 94 could add your comments. My thought was to practice practice practice using the iron sights but he wants a scope.

What the man said - I've got several deer and coyotes with a scoped Win 94 and it can work well. But there are many more and much better rifles that adapt naturally to a scope. In this case though, if he is truly left eye dominat, the scope mount on a Win 94 will be on the left side (scope will still be almost centered) so it really mighty be the easiest one for him.
