Own angled or straight spotting scope? Own which power of binos?

[BiG Boar]

Which type of spotter do you own? Which power of binos do you own?

[BiG Boar]

This poll won't tell you which is necessarily better, as I think there are more straight spotting scopes and 8-10 power binos on the market, however it will tell you what most people own.

Straight scope and 10x42 binos. I like the scope but it seldom see's the light of day LOL

My spotting scope goes to the range, and goes hunting for goat.

Leupold Mojave 10x42, Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65 -angled. The binos are good, the spotter is amazing.

Today I just picked up my Vortex Viper HD 20-60 x 80 angled. Have a 10 x 50 Pentax DCF WP (about 15 yrs old but great shape). Pentax great optics (bought it for about $575 back then). Vortex...WOW!!!!

I have a leupold 15-40 hd spotter and a brand new pair of swarovski EL range binoculars that just showed up yesterday, used them in the field today and all i can say is fantastic

I have a pair of 6x leupold binos and a straight 20x fixed gold ring spotter. I have been using my 25x hd video cam on a tripod though and you can play that back :)

I have straight and angled swaro's , the angled comes out every hunt. 10X52 swaros....love em.....those who say they are too heavy need to pull on their 'big boy pants' , lol

I had an inexpensive straight spotting scope for a few years. When I upgraded I went with the angle head, I think that because I am tall I find the angle head is easier to work with.

I don't think there is a right answer here, it is what you are comfortable with. See if you can try them both in real field conditions.

15-56x65 Zeiss Diascope FL (angled)
10x42 Zeiss Victory FL

Both are amazing - Glad I purchased the angled spotter, a lot easier to use once you get used to it. Easy on the neck, no strain.

I have a straight spotter. I think the angled one is ideal for the range, especially when shooting prone.

Celestron 20-60x80 angled spotter

Nikon Monarch 10x56 binos

[Good2bCanadian]

Vortex Diamondback 8x42 binos. No spotter yet.
Im happy with my binos, but also havnt looked thru any expensive ones either.

I use 10x42 Pentax binos. They work great. A little heavy, but clear.

I have been thinking of a new spotter as well. After sitting in the alpine looking at grizz all last week with the angled spotter, I will never use a straight one again.. My new one will be a Swaro..

I have the angled ziess 65tfl 15-56. It is amazing and also use a pair of 10x42 leupolds. Going to give the tripod a try with the binocs as well this season. Was also tempted at buying a 15x bino for the tripod as well but how much glass can one guy carry?
