No. It would have been about 10ft long by 22" OD tube and around 200lbs. No way i could lift a tube that big onto the mount nor so i have the space to store a tube that big. My pier for the big mount should be done this week at the machine shop. I am not 14 anymore and can't whip these heavy scopes around like i did when i was 14. Even that big scope you see in the pic is too heavy to grab and pick up. No one could lift it up and line up them two ring studs into the small holes on the mounts saddle without a helper.
