In short, some guys preferred angled because they are easier to use from a window mount in their truck. :chuckle:

I would think straight would be better for a truck.

If your hunting from the top of the mountain down I would go with straight. Angled is more comfortable, straight is easier to line up and pick out what your trying to look at. As long as you buy swarovski you'll be happy no matter what!!!!
