Looks like it has 11mm dovetail on the top which leaves things pretty wide open, assuming you are leaving it as a pistol find a reasonable looking pistol scope and go for it, should be many options on Amazon or Pyramid air or whatnot, I don't have any pistol scopes so I can't recommend anything directly...

I think FT pistols are limited to 12x mag scopes, and most of them use rifle scopes, not pistol scopes.

The Hawke Panorama 4-12x50 AO is said to be very good but it is now defunct.

Are you tweaking your 1701P for more power and charge, i.e., transfer port change and air tube replacement?
