There are a few basic Cardinal Rules relative to safely handling any firearm. If you violate any of these rules, it is unsafe. These two particular Cardinal Rules would apply, it seems to me, in reference to the OP's question. So no, you cannot safely use your rifle scope to "glass for game" without violating the second cardinal rule listed below, "if" you happen to mistake a human for an animal. Plus, you are setting an unsafe example for anyone who sees you doing it, because if they respect you as a safe and experienced hunter, they will be encouraged to do as you do, and on, and on, and on . . . that bad habit will be passed to others.
1. Handle every gun as if it was loaded 2. Never point the business end of a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot and kill
"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
