I run a straight 4x Burris on my 1894SS. I have a Bushnell 1.5-4.5x but since the gun is stainless and the scope is silver, I stay with it. For a cheaper scope the Bushnell does a nice job.
I also use a Redfield 2-7x32 on any other lever. It has been on several gun and currently is mounted on my 444. I know that a 3-9 is more popular but I prefer the smaller profile and lower mount of the 2-7. I do get the ghost front sight at 2x but I just avoid it by only going down to 2 1/2x.
