[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 176095, member: 4885"] I'll try to explain. An angled scope lets me sit in a more comfortable position when scoping 'up', I don't have to continually have my head tilted up. The scope I use has a rotating tripod ring, so I can look from above the scope, below it or from the side to get a comfortable position. With a straight scope, you don't have any options, you point it at your target and look through it. You have to be 'behind' the scope regardless of the terrain etc. An angled scope also allows the use of a shorter tripod when I look 'down' into the scope. The straight scopes are definitely 'easier' to point at a target until you get used to the angled scope. AJ [/QUOTE]
