Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Nightforce on a hunting rifle?

Yeh, I almost agree with that. If you are sheep or goat hunting then heck yes before you hump two ridgelines over. If you are stand hunting for deer or even elk hunting, then spotting scopes are a waste of weight in my opinion unless you are super picky with the most exacting standards for required inches or horn mass. Binos are for finding the beasties due to a wider field of view then I can use the scope to see if want to pull the trigger. There is no safety issue as I only observe through the scope after positively IDing a game animal. I can tell if an elk is a shooter with a 14 power scope.
