That is why I always carry my Nikon range finder in the field, actually it is in a cardboard box under my rear seat in the truck with my GPS, it is an 8x monocular and a laser range finder at the same time. It has a belt pouch and sits on the back edge of my hip joint. I found it to be more handy than the binos and it works as two items at once.
Do not use your scope for binos. No one, including me, likes to look around and see a dumb ass looking through their scope, at me. That will happen if you use a scope for binos. Plus, this violates the #1 rule of firearms safety; "Never point a gun at anything you are not going to shoot."
Be safe guys, safety is no accident.
