I have a 25X Leupold spotter it is nice, but I want to upgrade. Can someone explain the angled body versus the straight body? Is there a major difference? Also, is there a major advantage of the larger diameter?
I will be using the spotter out to 600 yards maximum. We have just finished our new shooting range, we can get 540 yards. I would also like to use my digital camera to take photos with the spotter. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I bought a set of 8X56 SLC's a couple of years ago. These binoculars made me a real believer in high end glass. I do not mind paying for the better stuff, as long as it is worth it. Are the better spotter's worth it? Anyone have a good one out there they would like to sell? Tom.
The angled type are much better for bullseye pistol competiton. For rifle use, I'd prefer the straight body type, as I think they are a little easier to aim at far distant targets..... However, I have recently gone to a tripod-mounted high mag. binocular instead of a spotting scope for use on the range.
