Kowa TSN-662 2.6"/66mm Straight Spotting Scope (Requires Eyepiece)

Kowa TSN-662 2.6"/66mm Straight Spotting Scope employ the great features of its world class flagship model, the TSN-821 M, in a smaller scope. Despite having a larger front element than two well-known 65mm scope competitors, the heaviest of the Kowa versions is still lighter than the lightest of their European brethren.

It is entirely a matter of personal preference best determined by experience, but many feel that angled scopes offer a more comfortable position for extended viewing periods. They're usually a bit easier to share amongst multiple users of varying heights as well.
