I think an angled scope takes a bit more "spacial sense" than a straight tube which is more in line with a right-brain dominant person.

Dunno - just an observation having read these threads for years. And of course, there is no "right" answer to the question of straight vs.. angled. You've got to know that for yourself.


The preference for angled over straight just seems obvious to me, but the opposite is true for others. .

Ya I do, and I agree some situations favor one over the other. But for me the angled is still preferred for overall use. But I guess not easy to make sense of the reasons why.

I just bought a compact straight scope to go with my bigger angled scope. I’ll have to use it for awhile and see how I feel about it.
