    scope

    this model had a specific sight for the multi shot tube model.you may be lucky and get one but you can overcome it by buyig a second tube and enlarging the slot at the point the spring holds back to load pellets in so as you can load pellets without removing tube and doctor a mount as i did to get by.it works well and alllows better choice of scope with a high mount.

    I have a Bisley 4x20 scope, unused in the spares draw. It's the type of scope that'd been put in a paratrooper back in the 70's, anything bigger would have looked oversized. (you can see them on EvilBAY all the time).

    Alternatively a 1970's BSA Reflex would work (very basic sight - have about 1/2 dozen in the spares draw): http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....T-VALUE-PLEASE

    Happy to send either to you and you can make a donation to H4H of GBP 5.00 to cover the postage, etc.

    PM me with your address.

    sent you both scopes - hope one works for you.

    offer the other as a freebie on the site, 'cept donation of P&P to H4H.
