Do you consider it safe to use a rifle scope, on a loaded rifle, instead of binoculars or a spotting scope when glassing for game animals?
Depends ... "ish." I will look at an animal that I've already identified as one I'd be willing to kill with the scope as I make the final decision whether to kill it or not. I will not use the scope to "glass" to locate something to shoot at. In other words, I'm not using the scope to scan the terrain or even to decide if something I've seen is a legal critter or not, but I will make the final choice about pulling the trigger on something I've determined to be legal to kill through the scope.
Hope that difference is clear.
