[QUOTE="BGL, post: 954433, member: 68131"] I use a straight for the following reasons. 1. At the range it is easier to use on the bench. I can just lean over and see where I am hitting. An angled scope would require me to stand up. 2. It is easier for me to find a target with a straight scope. An angled scope takes some practice and I never got the hang of it. 3. Straight is easier if you are sitting on the ground or a stool. An angled scope really has an advantage when looking up steep hills, or when standing because it is much more comfortable to look down into the lens. A straight scope has the advantage if you are looking down a steep grade. [/QUOTE]
