Spotting scope options

[swampshooter]

I'm buying a new spotting scope for shooting F-Class. I've decided on a Kowa 60mm, LER,25X
Should I get a straight scope or a 45* eyepiece. Which is easier to use when checking mirage from the prone shooting position?

It is personal preference but I recommend the 45 degree eye piece. You can look through the scope with less disturbance of your shooting position.

good choice. you need the angled body

I have a straight eye on my scope and it is very difficult to use compared to a 45 degree scope.

Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate your taking the time to chime in. It's settled then, angled it is.

Get the long relief eye piece if you can swing it. You'll never regret it.
