    Hello

    I use an Opticron scope with a 30X eyepiece on a Freeland Stand, which suits me at 25, 50 and 100's. I don't know that scope you mentioned but in my humble opinion get your self a decent solid stand because you can buy the worlds most expensive scope and put it on a cheapo stand and it'll be useless.

    I got mine From Chris Fordham at Bedford, but there are other dealers.

    If your around Bisley for the Small-bore champs 9-16th August there is a fairly large trade tent with lots of shiney bits in and also in the main Stats tent there is a forsale board which poeple put stuff on.

    Also try the well know auction site they often crop up on there, just search Anschutz.

    I hope this helps,

    Alan

    Got mine on there from a dealer, brand new for £27 and does the job great, even at 100m
