I do. They make a fair carry handle especially if you have your sling off.

My scope has fogged up externally from the heat generated from my hand on occasion. Especially if it is moist out or quite cold-say 15 degrees Farenheit, like it sometimes is here. As a result, I am careful not to carry it that way then.
