I'd rather have a hand-held rangefinder and a regular scope (and binocs). When I go to a stand, I'll range to certain spots (corners, trees, fenceposts, etc.) and then put the rangefinder away. Then I'll do my looking with binocs. I don't like glassing with the rifle, and I absolutely hate it when others point their rifles at me. Last season there was a guy down the powerline right of way about 400 yards, in a newly situated stand. He got up there, while I was watching him with binocs, and he pointed that rifle and scope right at me - probably to see if I was in the stand. Well, I was...and he knew right away that I was watching him point his rifle at me. He put the rifle down.
