angled spotting scope or Straight ?

[Oi.223]

For target shooting from a bench, which lens is better, straight or angled?

I prefer straight.

i prefer angle
keep the scope body out of the way,
but easy to see thru

The only relevance I've noticed is if you are taller vs shorter. Even that's negated if you have a good tripod and ball head. So do you want to look straight through it or do you mind looking down into the spotter. However I have found in the prone it's easier to look down an angled spotting scope. That's just me

I've used both, but it's easier on my neck and back with a straight option.

Straight with a good mount
