Hi James
I have a Tasco 3-9x50 AG Japan made scope here that is not cosmetically great (scratches and crimped tube ) but its very clear . I used it for years on my Annie .22lr . No mounts .
I respect the way your trying to help Scottish Airgun shooters. I would like to donate this scope to you for your quest.
I wont be able to post it it until the new year .
Paul
