What is the minimum distance it can focus on? Is it 39.4'? Sorry for dumb question.

You are correct. 39’ 4”. The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

Does it come with a cover or case?

Yes it came with a soft sided well made case the does a good job protecting the scope.

I don’t believe it is that it’s not necessary for the usage. I range out to 1000 yards. Excellent scope. Are you minimal distortion of the edges at high magnification. Well put together.

Does anyone recommend a certain tripod for this item.

Tripod being an absolute must for a spotter to be usable at all! Cant be overstated as I learned this the hard way trying a cheap tripod that couldn't hold it steady enough to use without extreme frustration! Buy once cry once if your not seriously researching and purchasing a decent product in tripod land you WILL BE FRUSTRATED AND REPURCHASING so do some work ask a professional camera store or straight to the $200 vortex pods! I ended up in a vanguard alta 2,saved some dough and became happy owning this amazing spotter with tripod! Cambodian tripods that are bundled with the argos are only made to anger users
