Is this scope straight or angled?

This is straight. Angled look like this... http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Fieldscope-60mm-Spotting-Scope/dp/B000PK3S4A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_6

For bird watching and astronomy, more people prefer angled for viewing comfort. Hunters usually prefer the straight angle. I test both and see what angle is the most comfortable for you. I hope this helps.

not with this particular sight, but there are other models that are right angled

I have 45 degree angle sights on my ar15 with this scope. But for the money this is a great buy and a great scope!

Yes it is, I find it very comfortable to use. Why they don't put right angle finders on Scopes as a regular feature I have no idea. I cant live without mine.

It is redisigned. So far it is true to form. There is no need to adjust for sights if at 25yards. Anything below that, then you need to take that into account on your aim.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

It's slightly slanted but can easily be used to one hand charge. .they print a lot better than the straight edge sight. ..your going to shoot it more than charge it with one hand..just my 2 cents

straight. the 45 degree angle as the description states is between the metal housing and the flexible ear hook as stated in the description

I can't answer your specific question but I wouldn't recommend this scope if your looking to purchase. I bought one and can't get it to consistently sight in at over 75 yards.

Not sure of the angle but it is JUNK. Won't stay zeroed on a 223 with a 21" stainless bull barrel. Tossed it and put a scope on mine.

I believe the eye piece and the lens are designed to be offset. I do not have the one in the picture, my eye piece is at an angle and not horizontal. But either model is supposed to be offset.

I believe it is. haven't had much time to shoot. great scope for what I use it for. no complaints.

Robert, the very reason for providing the angled view design is to provide the viewer with the opportunity to see an object i.e. target, game animal, object of interest, etc. witout disturbing their stance / position / sight picture. They merely have to bend over slightly and this places the scope in close proximity to their body / face. This is especially useful when the tripod has height limitations.

The hopper sits far enough to the side to allow for a mounted scope, but I still used a 90 degree offset mount for my red dot scope. Made it easier to use with a mask on...

If used for sighting in rifles, straight are better since you are usually in a prone position or using a bench rest allowing you to easily go from aiming in to using the scope without having to move. If using for star gazing then angled is best since you are most likely looking at objects high in the skyline.

Mine wasn't. It is one of those simple scopes that has a wide view thru it. The accuracy is pretty good.

Right angle only. They have a rip guide at http://amzn.to/U2MBI8 that looks good. I bought one of them but haven't had a chance to use it. I expect it to work as well as their other products.
