Let me qualify my response first with... I AM A MOSSBERG SHOTGUN MAN!!!
Go Marlin and you will never look back! The Mossberg is a modified Winchester 94. The fact you mention scope SCREAMS XXXXXXXX Marlin. Fully side ejected thru a side ejection port rather than a top ejection port with a little sideways kick to the spent shell.
Another plus is a single round can be dropped in the open side port and action closed and it works like a single shot.
Accuracy... marlins often cloverleaf at 100 yards so they are just fine there too...
