I am sure some crazy jackal enthusiast will pay a lot more than its worth.......
Get some clear pictures up, we are talking about a time when scopes were as much as the rifles they went on.

This is what I think:
Mint £100 or a tad over.
Excellent with virtually no marks: £75.
Good £35
Rough £20.
They weren't that high a quality but not too bad. They have wire cross hairs which can break just like so many of that period. Very very difficult to find in superb condition, so rare as hens teeth; probably less than 200 badged this way (might be even less); few survive.
Collectors hate paying good money for scopes. I think mint rifles are easy to find but period scopes are difficult and under valued. 1980's rifles should have period scopes as otherwise they are under dressed.
A friend of mine has been after one of these for ages. He missed out on a nice example on the bay which went for £75. Mach 1.5

Not quite mint but anyone is going to be hard pushed to find a better example. Think you should double your money (£46.50 x2) which is a premium.
Fun reticule and with the right mounts would finish a Sussex Armoury Jackel or Woodsman off nicely.
Collectors hate paying good money for scopes so hold out as someone will crowbar their wallet open, and a good few grumble that they didn't.
Good luck.
If you do decide to sell you need to put it up in a new thread, do it here or in sales.
