[QUOTE="partisan1911, post: 431726, member: 21115"] I have a straight eyepiece for my swarovski but I wish I had gotten an angled one. It may take a little more to reaquire the target but it also allows you to get a shorter tripod which lowers the center of gravity. Once you start using the higher powers on the spotting scope it gets hard to keep a clear picture because a little wind etc moves the scope around just enough to make it fuzzy. I normally glass while sitting on my butt. I would think the angled eyepeice would allow you to glass from the prone a little easier. My neck gets tired from having to be kinked up looking through my scope in the prone. [/QUOTE]
