Which scope for Ace?

[jirushi]

Hi,

My Sharp Ace wears a 4x40 Kassnar at the moment.
A good scope, but this powerful gun would be better with higher magnification, and parallax adjustment.
Any advice for vintage (eighties) options?
Otherwise I might go for a simple but effective Nikko Stirling Mountmaster 3-9x40 AO. But it would be nice to stay in eighties spheres

Cheers, Louis

10.9 ft/lbs on 4 pumps (15.89 gr JSB). It's my most powerful pumper, and the easiest to pump too. I hold the scope whilst pumping, with the butt on my thigh, which seems to work well.

Kassnar 3-9x40 PA. I have one I used on my FWB sport. I think you need a period scope - gloss black, of course

Wow that sounds super nice! If you ever decide to ... etc etc

Tasco 2-7x32AG although its not gloss. Either that or a Tasco 2-6x20FM as they are gloss and p'x in feet.

Nice Ace Louis,

IMHO gloss black isn’t the right look for this rifle.

The Ace was introduced to the UK as Tasco moved to the AG range, so for me it would be an AG or an FM, the best being the 2-7x32 which is a great scope in either range.

The 611vfm or the 626v would be perfect for a Victory.

Just my opinion, hope it helps,

Richard

Thank you very much for your advice gents.

@I.J., those are good options. However I think the Ace looks better with a 40 or even bigger objective?

@RustyBuzz, that's interesting info. I have often seen Optima Moonlighters on Ace's in eighties AGW magazines.

I might go for something modern first, with mildots, to find out about the gun's potential. The trigger is probably the limiting factor:
not too creepy (I have set it up as well as possible), but quite heavy. The Victory's trigger is much much better, but that gun is so hard to pump.
