Is the scope angled or straight?

It comes in either model. They are the same price. The one pictured here is straight. You can also order the kit that is pictured (which I did, and I like it with the case) or else you can just buy the scope and tripod alone, which is cheaper. The scope is quite good optically, but you might want to take a look at one of them in a store before you buy it online. It has a VERY light weight plastic frame. I am not sure how rugged it is. Seems like Leupold would use aircraft aluminum or something else much sturdier. Other than that, I have no regrets so far.

Straight. There is an angled version offered by Leupold. I chose the straight version because when looking through an angled scope with such high magnification it can be difficult to find your target.

Yes. Have not made any further adjustments to scope since it was zeroed. Scope is very well designed.

advantage goes to angled version, especially if shooting prone or fraom any positon in which you are not directly behind the scope.

The angled eyepiece is an advantage if you are using the scope standing or sitting and can't or don't wish to crank the tripod up to eye level. It's especially an advantage using the scope with a table-top tripod. If you are using the scope lying prone then it is probably a disadvantage and the straight eyepiece version would be more comfortable.

It has the typical rear appature adjustment that is common on every scope I have ever used. Begin by setting the scope at a full focal position on the scope rail. Loosen the lock ring on the rear lens tube and get to adjusting. I generally put a piece of white paper over the front objective to do a quick line of eye adjustment and then finalize the adjustment by sighting it in on a target. Tighten the lock ring and done. Enjoy this scope, great buy for the price. Would highly recommend and would buy another one. Hope this helps.

It has a groove, but that groove may be off center a little, so your scope may become canted a little as well. Do not possibly matter too much for 30-50 yards distance.

Not sure but i dont like the scope anyways.Too much adjusting with your eyes,Its not like looking through binoculars.If your eye is not perfectly centered on the scope,its not clear.

I gave the tripod to my son-in-law who uses it primarily with a spotting scope. He says he is very happy with it. His scope has an angled eye piece.truwheels

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

Mine is slightly off, perhaps 2-3 degrees. some have complained about that will cause elevation or windage adjustments to change too. Yes, that is correct to a point. Let's stay that worse case scenario, the turrets and reticle were canted 45 degrees off from each other. That would mean any elevation or windage would equally effect both. But for every 1 degree, that would only result in 1/45 of a change in the other. that equates to .02" for every inch of elevation/windage. So if the scope has 1/2" per click adjustment at 100 yards, One click of windage/elevation would result in (unwanted) .01" in elevation/windage movement with a reticle that was canted 1 degree off. Even at 5 degrees, that is still only .05" (1.2mm) at 100 yards. The point is if that small of an offset really matters to anyone, they should not be buying a $90 scope in the first place.

It is. If you are too far off center you cannot see the dot. I have been very happy with this sight for the money. I have it on my 22 caliber GSG-5. It is accurate and holds zero.

It's .11 dovetail. The scope can be OK or complete junk. You definitely should upgrade the scope mounts, imo.

No, it is set tilted forward. It has to be that way in order to un holster the weapon. It's not bad at all.

Mine is straight. I think the 90 degree is an optional accessory with a valve lock. Not included in this package.

Yes, there is an adjustment knob there and the body can be rotated. It's quite a nice scope overall, just very bulky and rather large.

Yes, the base is flat and the dome swivels toward the location you want to aim at. But like I said on my original post I wouldn't buy it again because you have to replace the batteries too soon.

There is a about 1cm wide x 1cm long scope that sticks out. The head of the scope then lies flush against the skin.
