[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1610030, member: 95344"] The magnification is one thing but I think the bell objective is where the spotting scope will beat a rifle scope. Most spotting scope are going to have larger then a 56mm bell objective if memory serves me correctly. I'm not an engineer but I believe the spotting scope will have less lens so the clarity and brightness will be better too. I've yet to see a rifle scope that beats a spotting scope in clarity and brightness. They maybe out there but I've yet to look through one. The reason why I don't carry my spotting scope during hunts is I'm more of a meat hunter now. But if I pulled a tag where a true trophy was the priority I'd carry my spotting scope. That's the main reason why I got it in the first place. [/QUOTE]
