Spudguns are so largely inaccurate that scopes are not useful.

i used one on my marble gun and it was fairly accurate at 50m or so, i used a block of wood that was all square and drilled a hole for my barrel to go through and mounted the rail on that.

THe shortest possible. The higher the scope, the bigger the angle between em is needed for a certain distance.

first attach your scope with something that will allow adjustments. due to the quick fall of ammo, youll need to have a range scope which is complicated to make at home, and likely will not resemble what you want. for a marble gun i would just look down outer edge of the barrel.... if you have ever learned about history and the poor performance of musket balls you would know that a scope on a marble gun is useless, unless you use batteries or something that will make some attempt to fly straight.

You could use ammo like dart ammo. That should fly stright.
