[QUOTE="7mmRemMag, post: 635451, member: 14122"] Yep that's exactly what it's for. But unless your with someone else it's kind of hard packing it and humping it up a mountain with so much gear. On that particular hunt I was flying solo so I didn't have one on me. Plus I had to do all my DOPING on my own. Ranging adjusting etc. it takes double the time because normally with a spotter your hunkering down setting behind your gun while the spotter calls out the range and MOA. Unfortunately I had to do all of that on my own before setting in for the shot and a spotting scope would've probably cost me my trophy. By all means if the animal gives you enough time and you can pack the extra equip... I'm a believer in having and using one. We use it all the time hunting from our bench rest table here in Texas.:) [/QUOTE]
