How to hold and pump a scoped Sharp Ace?

[AllanM]

I quickly learned that putting a scope on a "pumper" wasn't a good idea due to the difficulties in pumping the rifle up.
The only scope I had any success with was one of those pistol type scopes (I think they're called "scout" scopes) with very long eye-relief -- even then it wasn't very satisfactory and I soon reverted to open/peep sights.

Hi millybot1, I am very happy with the mounts, thank you again.
They are a lot sturdier than the Sheridan one piece affair.
Plus I think the Benjamin barrel is held on more securely, with the extra "cover" in the middle.
Here is a photo prior to removing the peep sight. I agree, the gun is best with the peep, but I do like to use this Weaver B4 every now and then.
Pumping gripping-the-scope-and-stock-style is still easy with this setup.
Cheers, Louis

That's a lovely Benji, the scope looks very secure.
