[QUOTE="LB, post: 19943, member: 2721"] I personally see nothing dangerous in using a rifle scope for observation, (assuming half a brain), and not pointing the gun in an unsafe direction; the same as when in close proximity to people and occupied dwellings. PC advice is worthwhile, but, do you always have a spotting scope available, always have a pair of binoculars available? If you want to get a better look at something, I say it's okay to use your scope. Like the man said, zoom in. Why should he not use his variable scope for the purpose it was intended? However, zooming in and "still see a [B]wider[/B] area" is counterproductive; so yes, you are hoping for too much. In fact, a "bigger" objective doesn't help, at all. Good hunting.
