I read on Birdforum about a sight for aiming angled scopes. Just a cable tie 
around the objective end, trimmed and adjusted so that it and the eyepiece form 
a sight. Anyone tried it?

I agonised over whether to get a straight or angled scope, but haven't ever 
regretted getting an angled one. I've never had much trouble aiming it, just by 
looking along the side of the barrel.

I have a budget scope, an Olivon T65 (6dmm, 16-48x), which cost about $360 and 
works ok for me.
