    Kassnar 3-9x40 PA. I have one I used on my FWB sport. I think you need a period scope - gloss black, of course
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    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.

    Cheers, Louis

    Have a look through your old AGW magazines and see if you can find a picture of the Rhino 4X32 turretless scope -- just a nice smooth tube, no turrets to get in the way when you're holding the gun for pumping.

    Thank you for the tip Allan! I had never heard of turretless scopes. Will have a look in my eighties AGW's.

    However I think I will be putting a more modern scope on the Ace, to see how good it is.
    AO, mildots, x12 magnification. It won't look right, but it will be interesting.
