I have a 457 Lux. Thing is a tackdriver, great irons, and it's threaded.

Find a classic Winchester model 69a. My dad gave me one when I was 10 years old and I still have it now. My kids and grandkids learned how to shoot with it and it’ll still shoot 1” groups at 50 yards. The original 4x Weaver scope still works fine.  Granddaughter got her first chicken-stealing coyote with it too.

We have a 69a.  It would be a tough row to hoe to try and make the case that a 69a would not be an ideal choice.  I’ve seen a few nice ones lately that have been drilled and tapped for a side mount that were very affordable.  Nothing wrong with a N-Mount and a Weaver J4 or J6 scope.  They take the same magazines as the Model 52&75.
