No it a long pipe over a short scope! I had a bushnell.22 scope chief, I bought when I was about your age, long time ago. I milled it to fit after boring out and milling the tube to fit, a little bit of tunnel vision but better than open sights.

Thought about that, have managed to get a good long eye relief on the scope and probably put a rubber cup on it. Best way is to let someone else try it first

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
