My favorite modern scope is what used to be called the Leuopld 2.5 X Compact. It was discontinued but eventually reintroduced at the 2.5 X Ultralite, I believe. About 6.5 ounces, with almost 5" of eye relief. It is a little short for standard length mauser action ring spacing, but it can be made to work. It is extremely light, strong & reliable and can be mounted very low.

I have one of those in the IER version setup with Leupold Detacho mounts on a 1955 M94. It's the first "scout scope" setup.
It's kind of handy but ruins the balance of the 94.
