I've had a fascination with old school optics for quite some time (why, yes, I do use them in photography). As I started shooting more, I got more acquainted with the Malcolm style scopes...

And I want one.

But, what gun would you pair with it? Would you pair a period correct rifle like a trap door or go for something more unique in a Ruger No. 1?

I'm leaning towards trying to find a project Springfield Trapdoor to work on to build this up...but what would you do?
 
I like how they look on a levergun.

My Lust rifle which I hope to purchase yet this month is a Winchester 1885 Hi Wall in 45-70 with a 30" Octagon barrel Double set triggers Pistol grip style sporting stock with checking and a full length Malcolm style scope.

If you put a Malcolm scope on a Trapdoor Springfield, then you couldn't shoot it.

That's all I'm sayin'.

Well, shoot. My inspiration for the idea was a piece of artwork I stumbled across...I guess I took it too literally thinking the combo could work.
