Thank you in advance looking for suggestions for scope base. I have been shooting it with iron sights and am ready to scope it. It has settled in and really likes the JSB exact jumbo heavy in 18.13 grain. Stacks them real well at 20 yards. Looking for any suggestions or experience with scope base or bases

Any one piece should do well.
How big a scope are we talking about?

A 1 piece something like this one would work:
https://www.pyramydair.com/product/hawke-match-mount-1-pc-mount-1-rings-high-11mm-dovetail?a=7346
You can also get away with 2 piece rings, I did. Rifle should have a small plate on top with 2 screws. That's your scope stop plate. Mounted mine in the front 2 holes, then mounted the back of the front ring snug against it and tightened it down. then just align the back ring how you need it to set your choice of scope in and tighten everything up.
Pic of that scope stop and ring and my 87QE .25 in a Model 95 Walnut stock. Yes the 87 will fit, drops right in.

While I have one here in the mess somewhere, I can't honestly say having never actually used it. Only thing I can say is repeating what I've read, which is they work well for the shooters who've used them protecting scopes that aren't air gun rated. If you have one, by all means try it and see what you think.

I used Sportsmatch DM60 with a rubber band support in front of stopper and Hawke Vantage 9*40 scope succesfully. It hold and endured recoil even in dieseling period .Hatsan brand itself had a one piece mount called "Hatsan Protector" for their break barrels but disapeared in Turkey. I wonder if they still have it in USA , will be a much cheaper alternative. I will not reccomend any two piece option unless your scope is specialy produced for break barrels , l ruined a scope. l remember HN Ftt 14.66 gr. with its short skirt gave good results ,not using it for a long time, though. Good , short barrel and lock out time rifle, just cocking effort is tiresome for me.

Hatsan rifles in the US used to come with their "Optima" branded scopes, usually a 3-9x32 with some quite bad 2 piece rings. Most never used them and if they did, it was
rare to see someone say they lasted more than 300-400 shots on the rifle. Nowadays, the included scope is usually a 4x32. Either might work well on a PCP or CO2 with no
recoil, but springers destroy them...lol.
Never heard of that "Hatsan Protector" scope mount so likely something only sold with the European rifles.
