[QUOTE="abinok, post: 65509, member: 16"] If you are going to be using it prone, go with the 45 degree eye piece, if its gonna be off a tripod, go with the straight. The 45 is great for prone since you can rotate it so it sticks out to the side. With the scope set up like this, you can line up on the target, release a round, slightly turn your head to the left (for a right handed shooter) and watch the impact in the spotting scope. don't have to shift your position at all. makes for much more consistant shooting since you arent changing the way you contact the rifle between shots. But like I said, if its all bench, get one that pokes straight out. As for size, most of the ones ive used were 60s, but these days, nobody is gonna make one with too little objective, so don't worry about it too much. Final thought, if you think there is a chance you might put a set of big eyes together one day, make sure the zoom and focus rings are located in the approprate locations. [/QUOTE]
