For sure I would switch to 7X or even 6X binos. I have lots and after trying different magnification now use 7X35. Also I keep them in an elastic held pouch on my chest and carry the rifle. It is always in one hand or the other unless it is slung on my shoulder to use the binos which is often. I never take a step after using the binos without the rifle back in my hand.
