Its best to just have the scope as a model group mentioned above. If you want the players hand to put the scope on, making the scopes verts part of bone and parent that bone to the hand during the animation and once attached unparent in the animation. Then just have the scope model group stay on until the player removed it again.
If you dont want to do this, parenting new models to the player v model is going to be an annoying task, but its possible. Just need to keep in mind that it is hidden to all players cept the local. Maybe having the model entirely client side would be wise? But maybe too much work to setup.
