Swarvo 20x60 angled scope with a Slik 624CF topped with a slik SH-705E head.

Works for me.

swaro 20-60x65mm angled spotter and 2 tripods to jump between either a manfrotto 7321y or a slik compact depending how much weight I want to pack.

20x60x80 swarovski angle.It is amazing.The angle helps a lot.No neck pain.The price is kind of steep but you get what you pay.

Swaro stm65 20-60
An old aluminum tripod with the name Astral , could never find a reference online. $20 at gun show , from back in the days when plastic was durable.
Have had a new Manfrotto on the shelf for just-in-case , but haven't needed it in 10 years

Kick around scope is a Nikon 15-45 60mm , and Nikon Monarch 10x42 binos

Swarovski STM65 20-60. Velbon Sherpa tripod. A bit heavy on the pack and the wallet but worth it. Prefer the straight scope especially if you hunt from high up, angled ones are easier on the neck if you hunt from the valleys.
