[QUOTE="uncleB, post: 218672, member: 4679"] This is one of those topic's that I really hate to post on because I dont want to step on anyone's toe's. To me this is a no contest category, A angled works great at the range and for bird watching and is superior for looking at the planet's and stars at night..... but if you are serious in long range spotting and shooting a straight is the obvious choice. the #1 reason is TARGET ACQUISITION. I will give you one example, last fall I was sheep hunting and found a Ram laying under an overhang with my 15x56 swaro's on a tripod, I switched to my Leica77 straight spotter (also on a tripod) and I had to go back and forth between the two many times to get my spotter lined up where my bino's were looking. this was with my eyes looking in the same direction the entire time. With an angled spotter I dont care how good you think you are you would have never spotted the Ram looking in the WRONG direction. UB [/QUOTE]
