Thanx guys for your responses. I am sure I can find a good scope for this rifle but its the mounts that I am seeking. I have considered peep sights and steves guns offer a very nice one made just for the gun.
Xmas afternoon I fired my sons AR with a peep sight. Brought back memories of a bygone era of my life (11B10). I might yet refer to the peep but am considering a scope because my sight will naturally weaken. I looked at the Rossi P801 mount but am for whatever reason sitting on the fence about it. Any input from scoped Rossi lever gun users would be greatly appreciated.
