[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1166574, member: 69799"] I'd go with the largest scope you feel comfortable putting on the 1895. It might look kinda goofy with a large scope, but I think that is the only thing that will work. The small scopes, like the one you have, are not that good in collecting light at night. I've got the same basic setup on my 1895 in .45-70, and I use a 1m candlepower spotlight when I use it. I don't even bother with a green flashlight in conjunction with it. I've got a Laser Genetics green light, but I've not had much luck in using it. It has spooked hogs on several occasions. If you are interested in a dedicated NV unit, I can give recommendations. With the short rail on the 1895, I don't think you will have room for a clip-on unit. [/QUOTE]
