Hurricane Scope?

Anyone out there have their Hurricane scoped?
I would love to see what scope you used and some pics if too if you can post them.
I was thinking of scoping mine someday after I take care of some stuff on my rifles.
Here's a pic of my Hurricane and a typical 5 shot group off hand (2-hand hold). These little guys are more accurate than a Tempest by far, not sure why but the longer sight radius and the fact that the sights are easier to adjust certainly helps. This is probably why I got rid of my Tempest ages ago (but I still regret it).

Sorry I can't help you with how to best scope that hurricane but with those kind of groups with open sights, I say you don't need to! Maybe you could consider some type of upgraded open sights though if they make them? Or go full out and get a scope and rifle stock and make that thing a sweet lights out little carbine?

There you go again with the carbine thing, Mark.
It does sound like a killer combo for the Hurricane though, I can see it with a collapsible stock and a red dot sight.
But I found this pic somewhere and this rig totally makes the 'Cane a rat-busting machine.
Check out this piece of kit:

No they don't make the Hurricane anymore.
Great pistol that is very underrated, IMO.
They just reissued the Tempest but I think they're made in Turkey, not the same quality as the UK version from what I hear. I haven't seen one in person so I can't pass judgement on that, after all you can't believe everything you read on the internet, right?
The top pic is my own personal 'Cane but the other rig in the box is from someone who sold his in the UK on another forum. Pretty sweet hardware in that setup, huh?

That's exactly the James Bond-like kit I had in mind for the hurricane. You now are 007 and have a mission to find one of those for your own hurricane!
