Japanese scope uses the same mount, I believe, as a Tamaya. This is the fork you place under a thumbscrew, with a ridge running down one side, to keep it in line. Many Simex come with inverting scopes with two parallel wires. I've got one, of possibly a slightly different brand, that includes a 12x inverting scope and a 7x30 prism scope that I'm planning on selling. Fred
