Default John Darling's scope choice?

Have been watching Getting the kill with John Darling recently and saw he was using a Weihrauch HW80 custom rifle but was intrigued to know what scope he was using with it.In his book Hunting with air rifles he has a Optima Moonlighter on it,but in this video he has changed it for what looks like a Tasco,can anyone help?

In my 'Hunting With John Darling' DVD, he explains his kit.

He uses a Theoben Rapid 7 under 12ftlbs with a 'simple Tasco 3-9x50' as he calls it.

But i'm sure he uses various other combos.

As stated it was a Tasco 3-9x50 AG,a nice scope & they weren't cheap at the time,one of the last of the Jap optic Tasco's,they are a load of rubbish nowadays. He went on to use an AirArms S310 topped with a Simmons Whitetail Classic dipped in cammo.

No he didn't.
Anyway, he died a few years ago.
