i am looking at buying a spotting scope for backcountry and was curious if the angled is better or worse, just looking for some input

Depends on if you do the majority of glassing from ridgetops or bottoms?

I prefer straight for ease of target acquisition. One advantage to angled is lower tripod height making a more stable platform.  It really boils down to user preference.

Also the natural tendency of the human body is to look down slightly, so the angled provides much less neck stress over continued usage, but I would agree it really is a personal preference.
