Frequently Asked Questions
Angled or straight?
Angled scopes are easier to use on a low tripod, from a vehicle window or when sharing between shooters of different heights. Straight scopes make it faster to find your target and are easier to use looking downhill.
16-48x65 or 20-60x85?
The 16-48x65 is lighter (about 50 oz) and easier to pack. The 20-60x85 gathers more light and reaches 60x for judging game or spotting hits at long range (about 61 oz).
Do I need a tripod?
Yes. At these magnifications a stable tripod or window mount is needed for a steady image.
