Thread: Spotting scope - straight bs angled

Angled eyepiece scopes were developed for prone rifle shooters. The military only use straight eyepiece scopes. The monster scopes used by shooting coaches for Palma, etc. and by biathlon coaches are all straight eyepiece scopes. I used to shoot smallbore and ran an outdoor range for 14 years. I have lost count of the number of times that other shooters borrowed my basic straight eyepiece scope in order to adequately supervise an indoor shoot with up to 16 shooters OR to coach some one else because ... their more expensive angled eyepiece scopes were essentially useless for the purpose.
