That's an interesting comment. I cannot imagine that my rifle scope would be better to see through then my field glasses!
I suppose that those folks that have a very High power varmint long range scope may have this potential? But the typical hunter out for big game with 8x glasses would not typically have more then 10X rifle scope?
Binoculars at 8X-10X are far easier to identify game with in my experience with, then a rifle scope. Especially while standing!
I think a rifle scope on a bipod laying prone would be quite steady, but that seems to be a less likely or common situation for me. I would sooner sit and use my elbows on my knees to see what I'm looking at and to count points, check hide quality, or to judge for a client.
My Binoculars are the most expensive of the optics I own. My rifle scopes only get used for shooting, and my spotting scope is not something I stare through for hours on end.
