    Scope for a "Goldie" ?

    Had a "boxed" .22 BSA Goldstar for sometime now and I was going to keep it that way, however, I've decided to put some Glass on it and take it out !

    What should I mount on it, something "period" I reckon ?

    Simmo WTC 3.5-10x40.
    Simmo WTC 3.5-10x50.
    Simmo Pro Air.
    Tassie 3-9x50AG.

    Something else maybe ?

    Something compact would go well with a Goldstar, a Tasco World class 2-8x32, 4x32 or 1.75-5x20, depending what it is being used for.

    Just stop faffing about, put a scope on it and shoot the damn thing.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I've got a 56mm Tasco Titan on mine which suits it well. Nice big solid scope on a nice big solid rifle.

    Remember the the guy doing hunting articles a while back, writing in AGW, "Jim" something or other ? Him n his buddy Carl.

    "Jimbo" had a WTC 3.5-10x50 on his Goldie and his mucker had a 3-9x50AG on his 80 !

    USE ?......nowt special, might take it out to bag a bunny or two but thats all.

    Just off-loaded my 1.5-5x20 and an Optima also !
