This riflescope can be used on just about any rifle that has the proper mounts. This rifle scope and the one you described are for different applications and have different features because of that so they are not very comparable in that regard.

Total length of the 2-7x33mm scope is 11 inches. It has a 1-inch maintube diameter.
Most definitely. I use the 2-7x33mm for my Ruger No 1s in 45-70 and 30-30. It is a nice sized scope for rifles with effective ranges out to 150 yards, and keeps your rifle trim.
