{"product_id":"swarovski-stx-module-eyepiece-straight","title":"Swarovski STX Module Eyepiece - Straight","description":"\u003cp\u003eStraight or angled is the one decision in this system people genuinely regret getting wrong, and it has nothing to do with optical quality — both eyepiece modules deliver the same image. It is entirely about how you find things and where you shoot from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straight eyepiece points where the scope points. You look along the tube the way you look along a rifle, which means transferring from naked eye to glass is close to instant: you see movement on a hillside, swing the scope onto the same line, and it is there. With an angled scope that transfer takes a beat longer while you reconcile two different axes. If your glassing is about locating animals rather than studying ones you have already found, that difference adds up over a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight also wins in three specific situations. Glassing downhill from above — common when you have climbed to a vantage — is comfortable with a straight scope and contorted with an angled one. Shooting from a vehicle window suits a straight tube. And behind a rifle prone, a straight scope sits naturally alongside; an angled one wants to be somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cost is tripod height. Straight viewing means the eyepiece has to come up to your eye, so the legs run taller — less stable, more affected by wind, more exposed on a skyline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eyepiece module carries zoom and focus; the objective module you pair it with sets aperture and usable magnification: 25-60x on the 65mm or 85mm, 30-70x on the 95mm or 115mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swarovski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43019651153991,"sku":"49902-SWAR","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8250\/4519\/files\/STX_eyepiece_module_Transparent__84154.jpg?v=1785358791","url":"https:\/\/extremestore.us\/products\/swarovski-stx-module-eyepiece-straight","provider":"The Extreme Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
