Compact scope for FWB 601

Lately, I've been doing some informal bench rest shooting with my 10m rifles in my backyard. Does anyone know of a compact scope (cheap) that would fit my FWB 601 without altering the gate?
Thanks

It's tough to mount a full size magnified scope. It requires a special mount and sits high in order to clear the loading gate, most folks trim the gate or buy one already modified. For informal league 10 meter competition, I use a small red dot and mount it with only one ring holding it with the stock loading gate. I've used this setup for about 8 months without any issues so far. You might want to ask Jim E as I've seen him list a few 600 series with scopes mounted. He may have more suggestions for you.
