can I buy a stand for the scope? I am 70" tall. I want a stand so I do not have to bend over.

Yes any camera stand fits this scope. It has a universal screw mounting hole

I bought this for my husband and it does comes with the tripod. It sits anywhere you want it , ground, table, ledge,ect. I supposed you could try to modify it for a longer/larger tripod. Obviously it will not fit in the carry case after. I have read that you could just get some conduit and stick the legs in that to get height as well.

The scope came with tall rings. I put shorter rings on for my Remington 700. The tall rings would work well on an AR or SCAR platform. The rings are all you need to mount the scope. There are lots of installation videos on the web to use for reference.

There are picatinny rails that you can buy to replace the scout type mount for the Ruger. It will put the scope in a traditional location.

I would suggest a 4x32-40 scope. I prefer a Swiss Arms (only $28) or a Leapers ($35-45).

I made a custom stand for mine so that the work area was just about eye level. It has 4 mounting holes, so pretty much any stable platform that you can screw it down to will work.

No, no need to add a scope. As is true with most short rifles, it is not accurate beyond 200ft. So a scope won't help your cause. (Red dot with parallax excepted)

I think the length may be an issue because of the short rail. You may want to consider and Eotech optic.

I mounted an LER scope that came with rings. I imagine that any rings that attach to a Picatinny rail will do. I never had an issue with scope height because the Archangel stock has an adjustable cheek rest. I also used a laser boresight before ever trying the rifle on the range. With a few adjustments on the range I was able to get around 1-2 MOA at 100 yards in less than 50 rounds.

I don't think there are any accessories that can be purchased. The scope is very long and there will be no room on the rifle for it.

The base and the scope are two different pieces and the screws holding them together must come up from the bottom. I have mine mounted and sighted and therefore I don't want to take it off. I know that Cabbalas has these in their display case here in Grand Junction ( at a higher price ) Maybe you you could look at one and determine if what you want to do is possible. I hope that I have been of some help.

Yes you could. I find it too short for my taste and my 11 yr old likes the height. I am a 6 ft tall guy and find myself kneeling on the ground to look through it with its legs stretched out as high as it will go. You have to remember, the best viewing is straight up where you have less atmosphere to look through. Great job getting the family into astronomy! I have found that you should really start with a "manual" scope then transition into a goto type scope. I have issues with my scope as far as the alignment does not work. I have not been able to use the goto feature at all on mine. Just use it for looking at what I know. Wishing you the best of luck and clear skies!

I would get a very sturdy tripod as this is a heavy scope. I used an existing tripod I had and it has adjustable legs and tilt. Works well but I would prefer one more sturdy. I use mine for bird watching and astronomy from my deck where I can move it around easily.

You will need a riser. I found one at Academy for about $30.00. Works great and scope is very accurate.

I agree with all that responded. My stand has been great (50' TV) do know they can cause problems though. Be sure to use the proper screws, do not over tighten, you should be fine. AND I agree Sceptre customer service is fantastic! A+++ from personal experience.

To whom it may concern. Do not buy this scope. Despite what I said in other reviews I have come to find this thing to be a POS. It broke very soon after a few rounds. I sent it back and they replaced it and that one broke as well. You will need to spend at least $140 to get a long eye relief scope that will stand up to the Mosin. Hope this helps. Doc

I am sure a 65" isn't to heavy, just not made to have 5 inches hang over on each side. They make one for a 65". Buy the RIGHT stand!!
